Thieves escaped with an estimated $10,000 worth of products after breaking into what appears to be a Newport Village jewelry shop just after 4 a.m. on Feb. 25, according to the Port Moody Police Department.

The suspects used a crowbar to break into what appeared to be a jewelry shop before smashing display cases and stuffing jewelry into a bag, according to security footage released by police.

The suspects seemed to speak Farsi to each other, according to police. The two thieves – one heavy-set and the other with a medium build – were wearing masks, gloves and dark clothing.

A chiropractor and a folk singer, after having one great kid, decided to push their luck and have one more, a boy they named Jeremy Shepherd.

Shepherd grew up around Blue Mountain Park in Coquitlam, following a basketball around and trying his best to get to the NBA (it didn’t work out, at least not yet).

With no career plans after graduating Porter Elementary school, Jeremy Shepherd pursued higher education at Como Lake Middle School and eventually, Centennial High School.

Approximately 1,000 movies and several beers later in life, Shepherd made a change.

Having done nothing worth writing, he decided to see if he could write something worth reading.

Since graduating journalism school at Langara College, Shepherd has been a reporter, editor and, reluctantly, a content provider for community newspapers around Metro Vancouver for more than 10 years.

He worked with dogged reporters, eloquently indignant curmudgeons and creative photographers, all of whom shared a little of what they knew.

Now, as he goes about the business of raising two fascinating humans alongside a wonderful partner, Shepherd is delighted to report news and tell stories in the Tri-Cities.

He runs, reads, and is intrigued by art, science, smart cities and new ideas. He is pleased to meet you.
