Surrey RCMP say a 香蕉视频直播渉oliday bait package香蕉视频直播� project has uncovered the city香蕉视频直播檚 naughty and nice.

In the weeks leading up to Christmas the Mounties香蕉视频直播� Property Crime Target Team (PCTT) conducted a project in two local malls with 香蕉视频直播渟omewhat surprising results.香蕉视频直播�

Police said PCTT investigators placed packages containing 香蕉视频直播渘ame brand electronics and jewelry boxes in bags香蕉视频直播� from local merchants in areas around the shopping mall 香蕉视频直播渟uch as the food court and seating areas.香蕉视频直播�

Plainclothes officers kept watch over the packages to see if any thieves would take advantage of the situation.

RCMP said that during the five-day project, three men were arrested for alleged theft of a bait package. The three suspects, police said, 香蕉视频直播渉ad a history of property crime or related criminal code offences.香蕉视频直播�

Those men have all since been released to appear in court on later dates while the investigations continue.

But the project came with some good news, too.

Investigators said they were 香蕉视频直播減leasantly surprised by the number of Good Samaritans香蕉视频直播� who saw the unattended packages and turned them into a customer service booth or a security guard. Some 香蕉视频直播渟imply watched over the package in hopes of the owner returning.香蕉视频直播�

Police said 香蕉视频直播渢hese simple acts of kindness香蕉视频直播� happened seven times throughout the bait package project.

香蕉视频直播淭his is the first time our Property Crime (Target) Team has done a bait package project in Surrey,香蕉视频直播� said Staff Sgt. Mike Hall, acting pro-active enforcement officer.

香蕉视频直播淥nly having three subjects steal the package compared to the seven individuals who did the right thing was quite refreshing, especially around the holiday season.香蕉视频直播�
