VANCOUVER -- Police say there was a dramatic increase in armed shoplifting incidents last year, particularly in Vancouver's downtown core.
The Vancouver Police Department said incidents of shoplifting involving a weapon were up 260 per cent in 2020, compared to the previous year.
These weapons ranged from needles and bear spray to knives and guns, according to the department.
