Most of the valuable comic books stolen during a break-and-enter at an East Vancouver home October 17th have been recovered, Vancouver police said Friday.
Police said that shortly after the theft, officers put out a public appeal and investigators visited every store involved in the sale and purchase of collectables in an attempt to locate the stolen comics and possibly identify a suspect.
They said earlier this week, a man walked into a Vancouver business looking to sell a number of comics. The shop owner recognized the stolen comics and held onto them while the suspect fled.
Police said there are a few comics still outstanding, but that the very rare Fantastic Four: Issue No 1 was among those recovered.
Police are still trying to identify the man who brought the comics to the shop and no arrests have been made.
Anyone with information about the break-in or whereabouts of the remaining comics is asked to contact the VPD property crime unit at 604-717-3328, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
