Richmond Mounties have arrested a suspect they believe is behind a rash of parcel thefts from the doorsteps of local homes that occurred in March and April of this year.
In April, a local homeowner on Lackner
Crescent captured security video footage of a man on a bike stealing a parcel
from their doorstep.
Following an extensive investigation by
Richmond RCMP’s property crime unit, police identified a suspect that investigators
were able to connect with similar crimes.
The B.C. Prosecution Service has approved
five charges against Dana Adam Halifax, 40, of no fixed address. He is charged
with three mail-theft related charges, as well as parcel theft and one count of
mischief.
“Mail theft is a problem that we take very seriously,” said RCMP Sgt. Simon Lee.
