Man arrested for vehicle theft twice in 9 days in Mission, B.C., RCMP say
A 41-year-old Mission resident remains in custody after being arrested twice in nine days for alleged vehicle thefts. Jesse Lee Grabinsky was arrested shortly before 7:30 p.m. on May 30 after allegedly attempting to steal a flagging truck from a road construction crew that was working near Stave Lake Street and Dewdney Trunk Road, Mission RCMP said in a news release Thursday. 'Witnesses reported that the suspect had arrived in a grey sedan, before getting into the flagging truck,' the release reads. 'After a worker intervened, the man ran off, but was located and arrested by police shortly afterwards. Witnesses also reported that a passenger in the grey sedan told them that it was actually his car, however he left the scene before police were able to speak with him.' Mounties said they later received a report from someone who had witnessed the theft of a grey sedan from a DoorDash driver elsewhere in Mission. 'That person reported that the delivery driver got into the passenger seat of the vehicle while it was being taken. The investigation into confirming whether these two events are linked is ongoing.' Grabinsky was charged with attempted theft of a motor vehicle and was released with conditions after a bail hearing. On June 7, nine days after his initial arrest, Grabinsky was arrested again, according to police. This time, police were notified that a grey Nissan Rogue had been stolen from Oak Lane near 1st Avenue and Welton Street in Mission. The vehicle was recovered the same day in an alley between 4th and 5th avenues, police said. Online court records show Grabinsky has been charged with theft of a motor vehicle, willfully resisting or obstructing a peace officer and two counts of breaching a release order in connection to the June 7 incident. He remains in custody and his next court appearance is scheduled for June 19 in Abbotsford. In the meantime, police said Thursday that they had been unable to locate the DoorDash driver. They asked the driver and anyone else with information about the incidents to call Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161. The file number for the May 30 incident is 25-6223, while the file number for the June 7 incident is 25-6612, police said.

Tracked stolen AirPods lead to arrest of break-and-enter suspect in Abbotsford, B.C.
An RCMP patch is seen on the shoulder of an assistant commissioner in Surrey, B.C., on Friday, April 28, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck A 29-year-old Mission man who allegedly broke into a home in Abbotsford, B.C., sabotaged his own escape attempt after a stolen set of AirPods led police directly to him. According to a statement from Mission RCMP, the resident of the Abbotsford farm property learned his home had been broken into – and a pair of Apple AirPods and numerous vehicle keys had been taken – the morning of May 29. Using a tracking app on his phone, he followed the AirPods to an Abbotsford gas station and arrived to find a 'suspicious vehicle' being filled up at the pump, the statement said. According to police, the suspects attempted to flee after recognizing the man's vehicle as the same one they had attempted to break into just hours earlier. One suspect swiftly reversed with the gas pump still slotted into the car, leaving the other to remove it before they both fled the area. The goose chase continued as the man followed his stolen earphones to a mall parking lot in Mission, only to watch the suspects take off once more as they saw his truck arrive. The suspects were reported to be 'driving dangerously and into oncoming traffic,' police said. The suspects were caught after they fled for their home on Sixth Avenue with the tracked tech in tow, ultimately leading the man, and the police, directly to them. 'Police were called, and Mission RCMP's Crime Reduction Unit used unmarked vehicles to conduct surveillance of the residence, while other officers applied for a search warrant,' police said in the statement. 'The warrant was granted hours later, and officers from Mission RCMP and the Abbotsford Police Department executed the search warrant that evening.' Investigators found the AirPods, stolen keys, and 'various other identification documents,' and a Mission man was taken into custody, said police. He was found to have numerous prior convictions for property crimes and other offences. 'Although this investigation had a successful outcome, police caution the public not to follow or approach someone whom they believe has stolen from them, and to instead immediately call police, as property crime offenders can often resort to desperate measures to try to get away,' Mounties said in the statement. 'Fortunately, in this case, the only casualty was a broken gas pump hose.'
