Burnaby RCMP have Burnaby-Douglas MP Kennedy Stewart to thank for the Monday arrest of a graffiti artist.
On Aug. 27, Stewart and his wife, Jeanette Ashe, spotted a man tagging the side of a building in North Burnaby. The couple called the police and before long, the police had arrested a 27-year-old man.
"I was only doing what I think any other citizen would do under those circumstances, and I'm glad it worked out that the police were able to apprehend this man," Stewart said in an RCMP press release. "I think it's important for people to get involved and know when it's appropriate to call the police. I would also like to say that I was very impressed with the quick police response and with the professionalism of the RCMP officers who attended."
Police are recommending a charge of mischief to property under $5,000 and two counts of breaching probation against the 27-year-old man.
