Terry Fox Ravens football coach Martin McDonnell keeps a shovel in the team’s storage locker to deal with potholes and dog waste he often finds on the field before practice. For more information and a story on Port Moody’s poop program, see page 4.
Port Moody Police investigators busted a Surrey identity theft ring that victimized a Port Coquitlam woman and dozens of others. Last Friday, PMPD’s Community Action Team swept into a home south of the Fraser River to execute a search warrant and found about 80 pieces of identification — real and fake — as well as credit cards, laptop computers and 20 flash drives. Sgt. Bradley Sheridan, who heads the team, said there were a number of people in the home as well as one person
who tried to hide under a set of stairs beneath a pile of household items but was eventually found. This is the second identity ring bust that PMPD have made in Surrey in recent weeks. In the previous arrest, a woman who left her purse in her car on St. Johns Street in PoMo was also victimized. Charges were later laid against a Surrey woman. Friday’s identity ring bust followed a five month-investigation that began when a PoCo woman left her purse in her car while visiting White Pine Beach at Sasamat Lake. Sheridan said a suspect broke a window, stole the purse and later started using the credit cards — even buying cellphones and opening a bank account using the ID. see KEEP EYE ON, page 10
