Two men who have been arrested for allegedly carjacking a delivery van in Richmond failed to consider that many of those vehicles come equipped with G-P-S tracking systems.
R-C-M-P say it happened on Sunday when the driver said his van was taken at gunpoint by two people wearing masks.
The van was tracked along Highway 91 and followed into Surrey where Mounties arrested a 29-year-old man and recovered the van.
They say a 27-year-old man later turned himself in to police.
