Port Moody Police concerned about a spike in break & enters

Darpan News Desk Port Moody Police, 09 Jun, 2022 04:18 PM
  • Port Moody Police concerned about a spike in break & enters

From May 01, 2022 to date, Port Moody Police officers have responded to a total of 12 break & enters – a 3 fold increase over the same time frame in 2021.  Almost all of which have occurred in central Port Moody neighbourhoods (i.e. Klahanie, Suter Brook Village, Moody Centre).

Many of the break-ins have occurred in parkade storage lockers, where thieves have made off with expensive items. However, there have been several break & enters to residences, some of which have been occupied.

One incident of note occurred in the early hours of June 1st when a homeowner was awoken by an intruder who entered their Klahanie home through an open window.  The intruder was startled by the homeowner and quickly departed the residence.

The motive of this break & enter is unknown, thankfully now one was harmed and nothing was stolen. The suspect in this incident is described as a late 20’s dark skinned male, slim build, wearing long jean shorts, a black jacket and a wide brimmed black and grey baseball hat.

“Incidents like these are concerning and we are encouraging the public to continue reporting suspicious activity to police immediately” states Constable Sam Zacharias.  “As warmer weather arrives, please be cognizant of open windows and doors as potential entry points for offenders”.
