Online shopping may be the downfall of a Vancouver man who was arrested Aug. 11.
Daniel Paquet is facing nine charges including breaking and entering, theft and fraudulent use of a credit card.
The investigation was spurred when police pinpointed a stolen laptop being used to buy items online with a stolen credit card.
Police pursued the lead to a Vancouver address after discovering the laptop had been swiped from a vehicle that was broken into on the 1600-block of Capilano Road on July 30.
"That's what took us to the house and got us the grounds for the search warrant," said North Vancouver RCMP spokesman Cpl. Doug Trousdell.
When combing the residence, police came across a credit card bearing a familiar name.
Just a month earlier, the card had allegedly been stolen from a vehicle parked in an underground garage in the 1300-block of Marine Drive.
After recovering the stolen laptop and credit cards, police catalogued approximately 90 electronic items in the residence including computers, video game consoles, cellphones, and televisions that are believed to be stolen.
Paquet is remanded in custody until Aug. 22.
The Vancouver man is also facing charges including fraudulent use of a credit card and breach of probation.
