POLICE SEEK MAN ACCUSED OF TRYING TO STEAL SEAPLANE

Police are looking for help in finding a man they accuse of breaking into Harbour Air’s seaplane terminal on Vancouver’s waterfront last Friday and trying to steal one of its aircraft. Const. Tania Visintin of Vancouver police says a man described as white and in his 40s was allegedly able to break into the terminal and one of the seaplanes at dock. But when he attempted to taxi away, police say he hit several docked planes, ripping the wing off one and severely damaging another. Visintin says police believe the suspect has a working knowledge of planes. Investigators want to speak to anyone who may be able to identify him. Visintin says the attempted theft of a plane is unusual. “This was a very dangerous situation and we are thankful that no one was injured,” Visintin said in a statement Wednesday.
