Letter: Whistler RCMP and WB security foil bike theft

'I can’t believe how well the team was able to do their job...'

I am so thankful for the amazing work of the Whistler RCMP (Cst. Bouzhmehrani) and the Whistler Blackcomb security team (Ed Mountain) at the Springs.

On Aug. 13, I was enjoying a hamburger at the Garbo take-out location. My bike was hanging on the rack behind me (in sight of my wife and son). Someone took my bike, and less than five minutes later we noticed it was gone. After a quick search we reported it to the RCMP, who immediately jumped into action searching the village, and went to the Springs security desk where Ed and his team also jumped into action.

Ed called me, and got a description of me, the bike, and the time we sat down for food. Thanks to his expertise with the video surveillance equipment, he located me and the bike within only a few minutes, then used their other cameras to track the bike to where it had been stashed by the perpetrator. They immediately ran outside with the RCMP and recovered the bike while the RCMP interviewed and later arrested the suspect.

I can’t believe how well the team was able to do their job and am so thankful to have my bike back and for the amazing help they provided.

Thank you Whistler RCMP and the Whistler Blackcomb security team.
