Burnaby R-C-M-P are asking for the public’s help to identify a suspect who allegedly stole a 75-hundred dollar Rolex watch after setting up meetings on Facebook Marketplace.
Police says the victim met the suspect in a Burnaby mall on September 1st to sell a Rolex but the purchase wasn’t completed on that day.

Prince Rupert R-C-M-P say in a media release that officers responded to a call to the 100 block of Silversides Drive on Tuesday evening. Police say they do not believe there is a risk to the public, nor is there an outstanding suspect in the case.
