2 men arrested after loss prevention officer assaulted, threatened at Burnaby shopping plaza: RCMP
Police say a man assaulted and threatened a loss prevention officer at Market Crossing in Burnaby on Friday.
Mounties in Burnaby say two men were arrested after a loss prevention officer (LPO) was threatened and assaulted at a shopping plaza Friday night.
Burnaby RCMP say they were called to Market Crossing, located at Byrne Road and Marine Way around 9 p.m. after reports that a shoplifter had assaulted the LPO before threatening to kill him.
Police say the suspect had already fled by the time they arrived, but soon after a 54-year-old man associated with the suspect was located and arrested after it was determined he was breaching multiple conditions.
Officers say they then located the original suspect, a 35-year-old man, at another location.
Both suspects were released at the scene with several conditions and court dates.
Mounties say the LPO was treated for minor injuries by paramedics.
