North Vancouver RCMP have arrested a man in a break and enter investigation at an Airbnb.
On July 3rd, 2024, a family visiting from the US were unloading their personal belongings into a residence that they were staying at 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 in an effort to identify the suspect.
CCTV capturing the theft was shared on social media and police have since 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.
