Security system leads to quick arrest after break in at Gibsons Home Hardware 

Sunshine Coast RCMP say security footage helped with a quick arrest after a break in at the Home Hardware in Gibsons. 

Officers were called to the store around 9:30 p.m. on Nov. 23 and were able to get information from the business owner, who was out of town, through live video of the security system. 

Police arrested a local man and recovered stolen merchandise. 

“The fact that this business had a security system that had alerts and live monitoring was instrumental in the quick arrest and recovery of the stolen property,” said Cpl. Stacey Robinson.
