Police need the public’s help after more than 50 iPads were stolen from a shop at Royal City Centre in January.
The theft happened on Jan. 28 around 3:30 p.m. when a man wearing a blue jacket with reflective strips, black pants and white gloves, entered a store’s warehouse and broke into a secured storage case and stole 54 iPads, according to police.
The suspect allegedly used bolt cutters to break into the storage case. He then loaded the iPads, valued at $18,000, into a bag and left the warehouse, got into a blue Chrysler 300 and drove off.
Investigators have released a surveillance photo of the suspect hoping someone in the community will be able to identify him.
“This was a large number of iPads that were stolen, and we are asking if anyone does recognize the suspect to please call us,” said acting Sgt. Jeff Scott, spokesperson for the New Westminster police.
Anyone with information on the suspect is asked to call Const. Vince Stewart at 604-444-3059 or email [email protected].
