Second suspect arrested in break-and-enter in Horseshoe Bay

An investigation into a brazen break-and-enter in Horseshoe Bay in early morning hours of April 5 has resulted in the arrest of a second suspect.

On April 5, at 1:56 am, West Vancouver Police received multiple reports of a pickup truck driving into a building in the 6600 block of Royal Ave in an attempt to steal items inside.

Three suspects were seen fleeing the area on foot, empty-handed, after the truck became stuck.

Following assistance from LMD Police Dog Services, one of the suspects was located nearby and taken into custody.

This suspect was identified as 38-year-old Richmond resident, Abray Isaac.

The other two suspects fled the scene and were not located.

Isaac is facing the following criminal charges: Break and Enter, Dangerous Operation of a Conveyance, Theft Over $5000, and Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Over $5000.

Since the incident, Detectives from WVPD’s Major Investigations Team were able to identify one of the outstanding suspects as 34-year-old Richmond resident, Sean Hudson.

On April 28, members of WVPD’s Target Team took Hudson into custody in Richmond.

“This was a brazen criminal act that left the Horseshoe Bay community on edge,” says Cst. Kevin Goodmurphy.

“We are pleased that a second suspect has been identified and charged, and we are making attempts to identify the third suspect.”

Hudson is facing the following criminal charges: Break and Enter, and Possession of Break-In Instruments.

The investigation is still ongoing.
