Break & Enter
A properly functioning home alarm appears to have help reduce the risk of loss in a residential break-in this past week. An intrusion alarm was triggered at a British Properties home in the Chartwell Park area. Officers arrived at scene within minutes of dispatch to confirm the break-in. Suspects had fled but appeared to have done so without having time to steal anything.
Recovered Stolen Auto
Proactive work by our officers landed suspects in custody this week. Officers patrolling in the Taylor Way/Marine Drive area checked a suspicious vehicle plate subsequently confirmed it had been reported stolen in the Sea to Sky Corridor. Officers took up observation and two suspects were arrested without incident when they returned to the vehicle.
