TRI-CITY CRIME
Mounties & biz battle shoplifters DIANE STRANDBERG The Tri-CiTy News
Local Mounties have been cracking down on prolific shoplifters who frequent stores in high-density areas in
Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam that are close to transit. And some of their work resulted in people being arrested on other charges. The Coquitlam RCMP campaign in March and June saw
the detachment’s Uniform Crime Reduction Unit as well as transit police and local businesses work together to catch criminals, resulting in seven people being taken into custody and 40 files opened
on individuals. Cpl. Mike McLaughlin said the crackdown was initiated to combat the common crime — which is one of the top Criminal Code offences in the region — not in response
to the coming of the Evergreen Extension. And in some of the cases, people were picked up on warrants or breaches of conditions on other police files. see SENIOR, YOUTHS, page 10
