Large scale theft at Lululemon

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 15 Aug, 2024 12:55 PM
  • Large scale theft at Lululemon

Two men have been arrested in connection with what police describe as a large-scale theft operation targeting Lululemon stores across the Lower Mainland.

Metro Vancouver Transit Police say a 39-year-old man was arrested in April as he was making a getaway at Burnaby's Metrotown SkyTrain station.

They say officers then executed a search warrant at a home in Burnaby, turning up more than 800 stolen items with a retail value of close to 100-thousand-dollars.

Police say a 34-year-old was also arrested following the search operation on charges of trafficking in property obtained by crime.
