Man allegedly robs West Vancouver home, transports stolen goods on bus
A man was arrested earlier this month after he allegedly robbed a West Vancouver home, put the stolen goods in a suitcase, and tried to transport them on the bus.
A police officer saw the man board a bus at Park Royal mall on November 14 without paying his fare. After talking with him, the officer formed a “suspicion that the man may not have been in lawful possession of the luggage,” according to a news release.
After asking the man some more questions, the West Vancouver Police Department sent officers to a nearby home and confirmed it had been broken into.
Police arrested the man and found several stolen household items and electronics inside the suitcase.
According to a news release, officers believe they intercepted the man “moments” after the items were stolen.
