A liquor store employee didn’t give a second thought to a man who came into her store, asking to borrow a coat hanger to be used to retrieve the keys that were locked in his car.
Now police are hunting for the man who they believed used the coat hanger to break into that employee’s own car.
The incident occurred at about 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 14 at the Aldergrove liquor store in the 26400 block of 32 Avenue.
Cpl. Holly Marks said that the employee found “significant” damage to the locks of her truck where someone had attempted to break in. Video surveillance showed that the damage was inflicted by the man who requested the coat hanger.
