Mail theft in Port Moody

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 18 Oct, 2023 10:01 AM

Police in Port Moody say they’ve seized hundreds of pieces of identification, stolen mail, stolen licence plates and devices used to make fake I-Ds.

The department says they are recommending numerous fraud-related charges against a man they arrested last week.

It started back in July when police were called to a report of a mail theft, and officers pulled over a stolen vehicle linked to the theft about a month later.
