Off-duty arrest

AN ALERT off-duty Vancouver City Police officer is being
credited for helping catch a burglary suspect on Friday in
the 1500-block of Kilmer Piace in Upper Lynn Valicy.

The unnamed officer spotted a man loitering near a
house.

He then saw the suspicious man walk to the back of the
house and disappear, according to a North Vancouver
RCMP spokesman.

When the RCMP arrived, they found a window open to
the home. North Vancouver RCMP police dog Hawk was
sent inside. Police say the dog quickly found the suspect
behind a coat rack.

Patrick Michael Mills, 35, of no fixed address, is charged
with break and enter, theft under $5,000 and possession of
stolen property under $5,000.

On Dec. 19 Mills was arrested by North Vancouver
RCMP Insp. Jamie Graham in connection with an alleged
burglary in the 4600-block of Tourney Road in Lynn Valley.

The second in command of the North Vancouver RCMP
detachment detained Mills at a bus stop near Mountain
Highway and 24th Street after the man appeared to match
a suspect’s description.

Mills was charged with break and enter in connection
with the Dec. 19 incident. A bench warrant was issued for
his arrest after he failed to show up for court on Jan. 3.
