West Vancouver police are searching for a man they say may be linked to more than a dozen cabin break-ins on Cypress Mountain spanning several months.
Among the 16 reported break-ins, a local resident spotted the unidentified man inside a cabin on July 10, 2022, and took his picture, according to police.
On Nov. 28, 2022, police say the man was caught on CCTV cameras inside another cabin on Hollyburn Ridge.
“This is concerning for the community that enjoys the cabins at Hollyburn Ridge” Const. Nicole Braithwaite said. “We want to make sure that people feel safe going to and spending time at their cabins.”
Police say two of the break-ins have occured since the New Year.
Residents have reported missing items such as non-perishable food and other household items.
“This is just very concerning for the residents as this they’re unsure if this person might be living in the area. They (the suspect) might be squatting in one of the cabins that one of the owners might not be in or whether they’re just constantly coming and going from the area.”
The man is described as around 30 years old, 150 lbs with a slim build and brown hair. He was wearing a dark jacket and pants, a white trucker hat and heavy-duty winter snow boots.
Anyone who recognizes the man or has any information that may lead to finding it is asked to contact the West Vancouver Police non-emergency number and reference file # 22-14159.
