    A man and a woman trying to flee the province were arrested at the Marine Atlantic terminal in Port aux Basques. RCMP say 40-year-old Robert King and 41-year-old Tamara Lowe, were arrested on December 3rd. That morning, police received a report of a theft of gas and merchandise from White Bay Convenience located on the Trans-Canada Highway (TCH) at Hampden Junction.  Surveillance footage identified the suspects, who were last seen in a vehicle headed west. They  both had outstanding warrants for their arrest. Upon his arrest, King provided police with a false identity and was found in possession of a number of credit cards and other forms of identification that did not belong to him. The vehicle was seized as part of the investigation, which is continuing at this time. Both individuals are facing a number of charges including theft under $5000, identity fraud, possession of property obtained by crime, breeches of court orders and failure to attend court.
