The woman was nabbed Wednesday at Vancouver International Airport after plainclothes officers witnessed her allegedly stealing a purse
Richmond RCMP have arrested a 60-year-old woman who they believe is part of an international airport theft ring.
Police did not release the woman’s name but said she is a foreign national. They believe she is part of a larger, organized theft group that travels from airport to airport. “Suspects that specialize in this work generally work in teams and employ techniques to divert attention from their true purpose: to steal valuables away from their owners. They are acute observers of people’s behaviour and their habits. They are often difficult to identify and detect as they are extremely good at their craft,” Insp. Keith Bramhill, Richmond RCMP’s YVR operations officer, said in a release.
