The Port Moody Police Department is warning the public about an underground parkade property crime spike.
Since the start of the year, officers have responded to dozens of parkade thefts and break-ins within the Inlet Centre region of the city – mainly break-ins to storage lockers and thefts from parked vehicles at Suter Brook, Newport & Klahanie buildings.
In one recent event, two suspects were captured on CCTV breaking into a parkade storage room early on March 13, 2025, making off with valuables. Police are trying to identify these two men, and anyone with information about this alleged break & enter is asked to contact the police.
“We strongly recommend removing valuables from your parked vehicle as well as locking them since thieves will typically target unlocked autos” states Constable Sam Zacharias. “As for storage lockers, we suggest you document all items inside of your locker, check on your locker from time to time, and ensure it is properly secured with heavy-duty locks.”
I don’t understand this post. The police are aware of the situation, but they haven’t taken any action. They didn’t show up at the crime scene when over 20 storage lockers were broken into in our building. Additionally, they arrested one of the thieves, but surprisingly, he was released just two days later and is now walking around in our building again.
