Mounties in Burnaby will be recommending charges against two suspects after a series of package thefts led to arrests.
In a release today (Dec. 23), RCMP said six packages were stolen from the front porches of three separate homes on Dec. 6 in a span of just 42 minutes.
On Wednesday (Dec. 21), Burnaby RCMP's Prolific Offender Suppression Team executed a search warrant at a New Westminster home.
When officers arrived, a man and woman who were identified as suspects throughout the investigation were arrested.
Officers found "several" stolen items during a search of the residence, including packages and mail.
"These types of thefts can be extremely frustrating for victims," RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Laura Hirst said.
"The officers who were involved with this investigation are now making every effort to return the stolen packages to their rightful owners, just in time for the holidays."
The investigation is ongoing, but investigators are planning on forwarding several charges to the BC Prosecution Service.
