The Port Moody Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect in a shoplifting altercation.

On June 5, 2025 around 5:45 p.m., frontline officers were called to a grocery store in the Inlet Centre area of the city for a report of an assault. A female suspect allegedly attempted to steal meat products from the store and was confronted by a security guard. The female security guard was then allegedly assaulted by the suspect who fled the area soon after. The security guard did not sustain any serious injuries.

A photo was captured of the suspect prior to her departure from the scene [see attached image]. She is described as a Caucasian woman, in her 20’s, medium build with brown hair and tattoos on her chest, back and arms.

“We have been unsuccessful in positively identifying the suspect and we are now turning to the public for assistance,” states Constable Sam Zacharias. “Anyone who can identify this female is asked to contact us at 604-461-3456 and quote file number 2025-2374.”
