Man arrested while trying to sell stolen property on Craigslist

Staff report
August 16, 2019 11:55am

The Vancouver Police have arrested a man who was trying to sell stolen property. The owner contacted the police when he noticed the tools stolen from his parked vehicle being sold on Craigslist.

Officers worked with the property owner and posed as potential buyers to arrange to meet the alleged thief. Once the man showed up with the stolen goods, he was arrested by officers in plain clothes.

The accused has now been charged with possession of stolen property and break-in instruments and carrying a concealed weapon.

The tools, valued at $1,000, have now been returned to the owner.

The victim’s vehicle was broken into in East Vancouver between 11 pm on August 13 and 8 am on August 14.

“The owner of the stolen property in this case had taken the time to write on his property which made it possible to identify the stolen goods and return them,” says Sergeant Jason Robillard, Vancouver Police. “Theft from auto continues to be a problem in Vancouver and we want to remind everyone that if anything is left visible in a parked vehicle, it could be enough to tempt a thief.”

Anyone who witnesses a theft from auto is asked to call 9-1-1 immediately.
