Stealing valuables from a parked car at 3:00 am is not a good idea – especially when the vehicle is a Bait Car. At approximately 3:00 am on Sunday, December 11, 2016 the North Vancouver RCMP investigated a Bait Car alarm activation. The vehicle was parked in a residential street in the North Vancouver area.
Upon immediate attendance to the alarm activation, police located two individuals a short distance from the vehicle. Property from the Bait Car was found on one of the individuals. A 28 year-old male from Vancouver was arrested for Theft and Possession of Stolen Property. The accused was also breaching a court order for a similar offence. He was held in custody with a court appearance set for December 15, 2016.
Police remind all residents to remove valuables from your vehicles
, said Cpl. Richard De Jong of the North Vancouver RCMP. Especially with the busyness of the season, do remove all gifts and personal items – don’t set yourself up to become a victim of theft!
