Langley RCMP went to a local home to arrest a youth, identified from video after pepper spraying the manager of an Aldergrove grocery store Thursday.
Footage allowed the police to swiftly identify a person after the incident in the Freshco on Fraser Highway.
“The youth is known to police,” Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Largy said. “[The youth] has been a problem at Freshco and was asked to leave.”
Instead the youth pepper sprayed the manager in the face and left the scene.
“Members watched the video and immediately identified the kid,” she said.
The youth has been arrested for assault.
