  • Burnaby business targeted twice in 24 hrs

Police in Burnaby say they have recovered about half-a-million-dollars in stolen surveying equipment after a business was targeted by thieves twice in 24 hours.

Burnaby R-C-M-P say the first break-in happened at 6 a-m on November 13th at the business, located near Still Creek Avenue and Douglas Road.

It was then followed by a second break-in at 3 a-m on November 14, where more gear from the business was taken.

Police say the investigation led officers to execute search warrants on three residences in Mission, where 500-thousand-dollars of stolen gear was recovered and two individuals were arrested and released.
