A spooky display

Richmond RCMP to hold crime prevention forum on Nov. 5 by Martin van den Hemel Staff Reporter Richmond Mounties announced Tuesday afternoon that they have arrested two youths in connection with more than a dozen recent break-ins in the Steveston area. “It is alleged these thieves would look for open windows and unlocked doors when they break in,” Richmond RCMP Cpl. Stephanie Ashton said. The two youths were arrested after being caught red-handed trying to break into a house on the 8200 block of No. 3 Road. Though there have now been arrests, Ashton urged the public to remain diligent and ensure they lock their doors and windows and employ appropriate lighting. Richmond RCMP will be hosting a property crime prevention forum on Nov. 5 that is open to Richmond residents. The forum, from 7 to 9 p.m., will be held at the Pacific Gateway Hotel, formerly the Delta River Inn on Cessna Drive. Meanwhile, Richmond RCMP are looking for the public’s help in identifying a person of interest in a number of thefts from vehicles in the areas between Minoru Boulevard and Gilbert, near Blundell Road. Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212, e-mail them at Richmond_tips@rcmp-grc.gc.ca or to remain anonymous call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Martin van den Hemel photo Jennifer Pavlovic is hoping to scare up some generosity this week for the Richmond Food Bank, with her annual Halloween display in her front yard at 11731 No. 2 Rd. She’ll be collecting non-perishable food and money for the food bank, which serves more than 1,500 people per week and distributes about 30,000 pounds of food weekly. New in her display this year is an animatronic named Nester, a life-sized talking pumpkin that spouts insults, and a zombie research facility in her garage. Her front door will feature a wicked witch and cauldron display, and her front yard will become a graveyard. Last year was a record-setter for donations, and she’s hoping locals will come out and contribute to a worthy cause.
