Large scale theft at Lululemon

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 15 Aug, 2024 12:55 PM

Two men have been arrested in connection with what police describe as a large-scale theft operation targeting Lululemon stores across the Lower Mainland.

Metro Vancouver Transit Police say a 39-year-old man was arrested in April as he was making a getaway at Burnaby's Metrotown SkyTrain station.

They say officers then executed a search warrant at a home in Burnaby, turning up more than 800 stolen items with a retail value of close to 100-thousand-dollars.

Police say a 34-year-old was also arrested following the search operation on charges of trafficking in property obtained by crime.

British Columbia Finance Minister Katrine Conroy says the budget she tables on Thursday will protect services and won't raise taxes for ordinary residents, but she also forecasts an increased deficit because "it's the right thing to do." The minister says the time is not right for the NDP government to bring cuts when most people are facing rising costs for housing, food and other daily staples.
