Between November 29 and December 1, 2022, Burnaby RCMP’s Community Response Team (CRT) conducted their Boost and Bust initiative to combat shoplifting at Metrotown.

The results of the initiative are as follows:

• 48 police files generated
• 54 individuals arrested
• $7,500 worth of property recovered
• 2 unrelated outstanding warrants executed
• 6 individuals in breach of no-go conditions

This is the second time CRT has run this operation this year. Combined with the April edition, the Boost and Bust initiative has resulted in 91 arrests and the recovery of approximately $12,500 worth of stolen property.

Strong partnerships with Metrotown Security, Loss Prevention Officers and Transit Police helped to make this initiative a success, said Corporal Mike Kalanj with the Burnaby RCMP. Our officers not only thwarted dozens of would-be thieves, but they were also able to enforce numerous court-ordered conditions and outstanding warrants.
