  • Complex shoplifting in Metro Vancouver

Two individuals involved in a series of complex shoplifting cases in Metro Vancouver have pleaded guilty and were sentenced for their roles.

Surrey Mounties say 51-year-old Nicoleta Rusu and 39-year-old Emil Marian Stan stole goods such as high-end fragrances and athletic clothing valued at 53-thousand dollars over a six-month span.

Police say the two individuals have received an unspecified prison sentence, and both will be deported after serving their time in jail.

Police say the two targeted major retail outlets and used sophisticated devices to block security alarm systems to conceal stolen goods without being detected.
