The Richmond RCMP today revealed that a retail theft prevention operation, dubbed ‘Boost and Bust,’ was conducted on November 12, resulting in the arrest of 10 individuals.
The operation was part of ongoing efforts to reduce property crime and enhance community safety in Richmond, involving collaboration between Frontline officers, the Property Crime Unit (PCU), and local businesses.
A total of ten individuals were arrested as a result of the operation, the majority of whom reside outside Richmond. Charges are still pending against them.
The RCMP reported that approximately $3,000 worth of alleged stolen goods were recovered, with clothing and food being the most targeted items.
Social services referrals were offered to all individuals arrested.
Staff Sergeant Simon Lee said, “Retail theft impacts businesses, employees, and the community. In many cases, stolen food and clothing ends up being resold, which poses public health and safety risks.”
