A man has now been charged with several Criminal Code offences following a Surrey Police Service (SPS) investigation into a November 29, 2024 residential break-in where over $200,000 worth of items were allegedly stolen.

On November 30, 2024, SPS Frontline officers responded to a report of a break-and-enter at a residence in Surrey’s Newton neighbourhood in which over $200,000 worth of luxury items had been stolen. Investigators from SPS’s Prolific Offender Unit, with the assistance of the Richmond RCMP, identified a potential suspect and were able to recover several of the items from the residence.
