When you steal something, it’s probably best to wait until you get home before admiring your day’s take.
A Burnaby thief learned this lesson the hard way after being nailed by Metro Â鶹´«Ă˝Ół»Transit Police.
A car was broken into in the garage at Metropolis at Metrotown and the thief absconded with several expensive items, according to Transit Police.
The thief then boarded a SkyTrain, but a witness spotted the man “rummaging” through a backpack to see what he had stolen.
The witness then called Transit Police, who questioned the man and made an arrest.
Transit Police reminded riders to text them at 87-77-77 to report suspicious activity.
