The Crown prosecutor's office has now approved 21 theft-related charges against two Abbotsford brothers police call “prolific property crime offenders” who were already facing trial for a break-in and robbery at the South Surrey home of Sharon Symes, the owner of Porter’s Bistro Coffee & Tea House in Langley.
Darwin Duane Dorozan, 36, is facing two charges of Break and Enter and has been released on strict conditions. Dane Dewey Dorozan, 35, has been charged with 19 counts of break and enter, one charge of possession of stolen property and one charge of assault with a weapon. He's in jail.
The charges were laid Tuesday (Sept 27).
The Dorozans were arrested Aug. 15 shortly after $20,000 worth of property was stolen from the Symes’ Surrey house.
At the time, Symes and her husband were told the two suspects were being tracked by the Surrey RCMP Property Crime Target Team, who swooped in and arrested them before they got very far.
The Dorozans are believed responsible for other residential break-and-enters in Langley, Surrey, White Rock and New Westminster.
“The skills and perseverance that our Property Crime team demonstrated in pursuit of these criminals was outstanding,” said Supt. Bill Fordy, Investigative Services Officer.
"It was great police work.”
