New photos released of Maple Ridge food bank theft suspects

Three suspects were caught on camera outside the Friends In Need Food Bank

Ridge Meadows RCMP have released more photos of the suspects in a break and enter at the food bank in Maple Ridge.

Police have now released descriptions of three suspects who were caught on video camera outside the front doors of the Friends In Need Food Bank, just before the door to the administration offices was pried open at around 5:30 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 5.

Evan Seal, general manager of the food bank, said the men were recorded breaking into the facility. When they reached the top of the stairs they punched out a lock on a door to gain access to the floor. They stole two laptops and a safe that they pried from a wall. In total four doors and the door frames were completely damaged in the process.

The first suspect is described by police as a Caucasian man who was wearing a black Tilley-style hat with a red or burgundy bandana, a black jacket, grey pants, and distinctive red shoes.
