“The goods seized included home improvement supplies, kitchen appliances, and various tools and machines of great value,” says Cp. Bryan Mulrooney of the RCMP Community Safety Unit in West Kelowna. “Many thieves and shoplifters cost companies thousands of dollars in lost revenue every month. Our collaborative approach and relationship with our local asset protection staff is an invaluable tool in helping us fight productive retail thieves. “
A 42-year-old man from Langley and a 46-year-old woman from White Rock were conditionally released to appear in court at a later date. The investigation is ongoing and the matter is being brought to the BC prosecutor for investigation.
