Crime spree leads to arrest

Stolen property
The 撸奶社区RCMP say they have received many reports of stolen property, such as scooters, bicycles and dirt bikes, within the last several weeks.
The property has been stolen from storage sheds, garages, bike racks, businesses and elsewhere.
The police say that although the property was locked in most instances, the perpetrators cut the locks. Four bikes have since been recovered — three of which were in bushes, while one was found in a parking lot.
The 撸奶社区RCMP reminds the public to take photos of their bikes, record serial numbers, note any distinguishing features and stay vigilant.
Business break and entry
The RCMP has also received several reports of break and entry into local businesses.
In two incidents, the police reported that CCTV footage showed two masked individuals using a prying tool to gain entry. The suspects were able to steal various items before the police arrived.
These investigations are ongoing.
Those with information regarding the above files are asked to contact the 撸奶社区RCMP at 604-892-6100, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or go to the website.
