THE RCMP are recommending charges against three teens after they allegedly broke into several cars in Deep Cove and stole items from yards in the early hours of Friday morning.
After hearing suspicious sounds in the carport beside his house, a Deep Cove resident looked out his window and reportedly saw people breaking into his van. He called the North Vancouver RCMP, who later found the suspects walking on Strathaven Drive.
Police recovered stolen credit cards, ID and a cell phone, all of which have since been returned to their owners. They are still looking for the owners of a mountain bike, digital camera and two electronic GPS units. Investigators believe the trio had stolen from other vehicles and yards before targeting the van.
"It seems they were on a bit of a crime spree, all within the Deep Cove area," said Cpl. Richard De Jong, spokesman for the detachment.
Police have recommended charges of possession of stolen property and theft against a 15-year-old girl and boy and a 19-yearold man.
