Abbotsford, British Columbia Canada March 12 2019
On Wednesday, March 6, two teenage boys went to visit a mall in Abbotsford, British Columbia. When they attended the Sevenoaks Shopping Centre, they reportedly entered a store with the intent to steal.
According to the Abbotsford Police, the boys attempted to steal a $700 pair of sunglasses. The police have not released what store the glasses were stolen from.
When confronted by store staff, the two teens fled on foot. They did not get very far when a mall security guard went after them.
In order to avoid arrest, one of the teens pulled a stun baton on the mall security guard. Police have told Narcity that they did not hit the security guard, but they were close.
Abbotsford Police also told Narcity that they were able to catch the teens by viewing the security footage provided by the mall. Although they were able to flee on foot, they only managed to get a short distance before being caught by local law enforcement.
