According to Port Moody police, the man was arrested after 6:15 p.m. near a shop in the Suter Brook Village, where additional loss prevention officers had been stationed amid a rash of shoplifting.

The goods were recovered and the man was released with a future court date, police said in a Wednesday news release.
However, by 7:15 p.m., loss prevention officers saw the man grab the booze from a different store and run — resulting in his second arrest that evening.
The man, who has nearly 20 theft and other convictions on file, was kept in custody awaiting a judge.
