CHILLIWACK – Mounties in Chilliwack say multiple businesses in the greater Chilliwack area were impacted by criminal activity this past week.

According to a weekly recap compiled by Chilliwack RCMP spokesperson Corporal Carmen Kiener, there were 808 calls for service between Monday, Feb. 9 and Sunday, Feb. 16, including three break and enters at businesses.

During the Feb. 9-16 period, Chilliwack RCMP received a report of a man who threw a rock through the window of a convenience store in Cultus Lake.  Police attended and located the man nearby. The man was arrested and held in police custody before being released on preventative conditions.

In another incident, a business owner on Yale Road reported a disturbance where two men were attempting to steal several items from the store. One of the men reportedly brandished a weapon and the owner fled the store, locking the men inside. Before police arrived the men caused damage to the store as they attempted to flee. Once officers arrived on scene, they were able to safely arrest both men.

In a separate incident, officers responded to a report of an after-hours alarm at a business on Luckakuck Way. Cpl. Kiener says a man hid in the building until staff left for the day.  The man took several items before exiting the building which resulted in the alarm. The investigation remains active and ongoing.
