POLICE in West Vancouver are on the lookout for thieves with sartorial flair after someone cut a hole in the roof of a Park Royal department store and tried to make off with over $100,000 worth in high-end fashion.
The Mission Impossible fashion grab appeared to have been interrupted mid-heist possibly by the presence of security patrols.
Const. Jeff Palmer of the West Vancouver Police Department said 15 large plastic garbage bags filled with expensive clothes were discovered, apparently abandoned, near the place where the thieves gained entry.
The value of the clothing taken was about $108,000, said Palmer.
It was all recovered.
Police are now looking at footage from the stores video surveillance cameras to see if they can identify any suspects.
Anyone who saw suspicious activity near Park Royal Shopping Centre between Saturday night and Sunday morning should call the West Vancouver Police Department.
