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 more than $100,000 worth of 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.
Anyone who saw suspicious activity in the 700-block of Marine Drive or the Park Royal Shopping Centre between the night of April 20 and morning of April 21 should call the West Vancouver Police Department.
