Richmond RCMP say officers have busted another alleged luggage thief at the Vancouver International Airport.
Mounties said Miriam Tremblay, a 26-year-old Vancouver resident, was arrested on Aug. 2 and is now facing seven charges of theft under $5,000.
Tremblay is accused of pilfering luggage from baggage carousels at the airport between July 12 and Aug. 2 this summer in the airport’s domestic terminal.

Tremblay is due in Richmond provincial court on Wednesday.
Earlier in the spring, Miriam Fajardo, a foreign national, was convicted on three counts of theft under $5,000 for what police described as her part in a luggage theft ring.
Police said at the time that she was believed to be “part of a larger, organized theft group travelling from airport to airport.”
