Mounties say they saved a family from a Grinch-like burglary over the weekend, tracking down suspects who allegedly stole wrapped presents from a Langley home.
On Sunday, Dec. 22, the Langley RCMP says it began investigating a break in at a home on 28A Avenue in Aldergrove.
“It was reported that the suspects entered the residence in the early hours of the morning and stole several wrapped presents that were placed under the family’s Christmas tree,” Mounties said in a release Wednesday.
Police compared the theft to the story of the Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Mounties reported tracking down suspects and recovering the presents.
“We rewrapped the presents and returned them to the family to restore the joy of the holiday season,” said Corp Zynal Sharoom.
Police say the investigation is ongoing and anyone with information about the alleged theft is asked to call the Langley RCMP and quote file number 2024-41544.
