Over 60 break and enter charges for Surrey man

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 13 Sep, 2024 12:37 PM
  • Over 60 break and enter charges for Surrey man

R-C-M-P in Surrey say a man has been charged in more than 60 break-and-enters across the Lower Mainland and the B-C Interior.

They say officers began investigating a series of residential break-ins where the suspect would steal garage door openers to later access the property.

Police say they arrested and charged the man with possession of stolen property in July, but after police obtained a search warrant for his home, they found more items that tied him to the other crimes.

They say he now faces a total of 64 charges -- including break-and-enter, theft of motor vehicles, and fraud -- and remains in custody until his next court appearance.
