After receiving tips from retailers, Vancouver police deployed an undercover officer posing as a shoplifter who sold merchandise to the man and who received instructions to steal property from Home Depot.

Over the years, police have also seized iPads and iPhones in their original packaging, bags of clothes with tags attached from Lululemon, Mark’s and SportChek, merchandise including linens and toothbrushes, printers and lingerie, power tools and watches, and hundreds of credit and debit cards and blank magnetic cards, according to the court documents.

The VPD said in the court filing that Luo had purchased stolen property and Home Depot store credits from known shoplifters between March 2017 and April 2018. A couple of weeks later, the VPD executed a search warrant at his residence and seized gift cards, cash and boxed-or-tagged merchandise and arrested him for several offences, including theft, forgery and possession of stolen property.Article content
