North Vancouver RCMP has arrested a man in a break-and-enter investigation at an Airbnb.
On July 3rd, 2024, a family visiting from the US was unloading their personal belongings into a residence where they were staying in North Vancouver.
During the process of unloading, the rear door of the residence was left open, and a man was seen on CCTV stealing several items from the family. Police responded and launched an investigation to identify the suspect.
CCTV footage of the theft was shared on social media, and the police have received several tips. On July 25th, 2024, North Vancouver RCMP arrested a man believed to be responsible for the break-and-enter. He has since been released with a court appearance slated for October 23rd, 2024.
“This was a distressing and disruptive incident for the family visiting from the US,” said Constable Mansoor Sahak, Media Relations Officer for the North Vancouver RCMP. “What was meant to be a memorable vacation has unfortunately turned into a frustrating ordeal. We hope this arrest brings the family some type of reassurance that the person responsible will be held accountable.”
Residents are encouraged to be mindful of their home security during these summer months and to report all suspicious persons and occurrences to the North Vancouver RCMP.
Held accountable. I highly doubt it. The justice system is a joke, and he’ll barely get a slap on the wrist.
