A longtime Vancouver friend shared this story, adding “pretty constant now”:
Two suspects now face criminal charges after allegedly setting off bear spray inside the Kitsilano Arc’teryx store, grabbing $25,000 worth of jackets and clothing, and fleeing in a cab.
According to police, a man and a woman entered the store, located near West 4th and Arbutus in Vancouver, on Monday evening at around 6:30 p.m. Bear spray was used and, in the ensuing melee, the pair allegedly gathered $25,000 worth of Arc’teryx merchandise and fled the area after hailing a cab.
One wonders if they’re learning lessons from down the Left Coast in San Francisco, where most any criminal activity is tolerated.
