Share On

A 35-year-old West Vancouver man is facing multiple charges in connection with a series of alleged residential break-ins and related property crimes in the Northgate neighbourhood, according to West Vancouver Police.

Police said the investigation stems from incidents reported on April 23, when officers received complaints of residential break-ins, thefts from vehicles and the unauthorized use of a stolen credit card. Investigators later arrested Louis Muelfarth in connection with the case. He was released on April 25 on conditions, including a requirement to appear in court on July 15.

According to police, the BC Prosecution Service approved charges against Muelfarth on July 13. The charges include three counts of break and enter, two counts of unauthorized use of a credit card, two counts of theft under $5,000 and one count of possession of property obtained by crime. The allegations have not been proven in court.

Police said Muelfarth is also wanted on an arrest warrant in a separate matter and are asking anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact West Vancouver Police. The investigation remains ongoing.
