Vancouver police arrest 217 people in 3-week crackdown on shoplifting
The Vancouver Police Department says it collaborated with 28 businesses over three weeks to catch more than 200 alleged shoplifters.
In another instance, a different man threatened to kill a staff member while stealing from a downtown clothing store. Police say he was arrested four times throughout their anti-shoplifting project. Beyond preventing violence, VPD says the project was also intended to reduce financial loss for businesses. During the three weeks, the department recovered $79,679 in stolen merchandise.
