Two arrested for stealing in Lower Mainland businesses

Share On

RCMP in Coquitlam, Surrey and Burnaby have joined forces to make arrests after they say suspects literally tunnelled into businesses to commit crimes.

An RCMP statement says pooling resources and sharing information between agencies helped identify similarities that eventually led to two suspects.

A 43 year old man is facing charges including eight counts of break and enter while a 39 year old woman is accused of two counts of the same offence.

Police began investigating in early September following numerous reports from several cities about crooks breaking through the walls of adjoining businesses in order to steal safes or other property in targeted workplaces.
