Richmond BC Criminals Using 'Pro' Lockpicking Tools

Downtown Eastside Vancouver may be where the stolen bikes and electric scooters are going to, but we just don't know. However, a lot of electric scooters have been stolen in Metro Vancouver lately. Westwater Views condominium complex near Steveston Village, a tourist area, is the scene of many stolen bikes and scooters, as featured in the Vancouver Sun and Sing Tao newspapers. Is illegal drug dealing behind the crimes in Richmond BC? Westwater Views is one of the condominiums that is still without any video security cameras in the area. Harry Hamlyn of 12873 Railway Avenue had his mobility electric scooter stolen here in August 2012, as featured in the Richmond News story. Most Richmond citizens don't know that there will be some 34000 reported crimes in 2012 in this city.
