RCMP target shoplifters in four day blitz at Parkwood Mall

Jun 1, 2021 | 3:52 PM

PRINCE GEORGE — Local Mounties arrested 22 people during a four day blitz targeting prolific shoplifters.

The RCMP’s downtown safety unit worked with loss prevention officers from the London Drugs at Parkwood Mall and made the arrests over two separate, two-day periods. On April 29 and 30 and May 17 and 18.

Police arrested 19 people for theft under 5,000. Police released all offenders with future court dates in August and September.

“Releasing the offenders with future court dates, instead of holding them for court, is in accordance with provisions in the Criminal Code. Unless a person presents a significant public safety threat, release at the earliest reasonable opportunity on the least onerous grounds is favoured,” says Cst. Jennifer Cooper of the Prince George RCMP.
