Maple Ridge city Councillor Ahmed Yousef delivered an alleged thief to the RCMP after a citizen’s arrest at his home.
Now he wants to ensure the culprit faces justice, but police say they are not considering charges.
Yousef’s home is undergoing extensive renovations, but he has secured the site with a high metal fence.
Still, he noticed earlier this month that someone had gone into his garden shed and stolen a hedge trimmer, as well as its batteries and charger.
