During the first five months of this year, the Abbotsford Police Department has responded to 72 business break and enters across the city. For comparison, AbbyPD officers attended 178 such incidents throughout all of
2025.
On May 19,  AbbyPD Patrol officers responded to an overnight break and enter at a business in the 2200 block of Townline Road. Just days later, on May 26, Patrol officers attended another overnight break and enter at a local business in the 31100 block of Peardonville Road. Detectives from AbbyPD’s Crime Reduction Unit took over the investigation and identified similarities between the two incidents and quickly identified and arrested a suspect.

On May 27  38-year-old Devon Reeve was formally charged with two counts of break and enter in relation to these incidents. AbbyPD’s Crime Reduction Unit plays a key role in identifying repeat offenders,
enforcing court-ordered conditions, and disrupting criminal activity. Their proactive work remains critical to reducing property crime and enhancing safety throughout Abbotsford.

AbbyPD is reminding residents and business owners that they can play an important role in supporting community safety by participating in Project Clearview—AbbyPD’s voluntary community camera registry program designed to assist criminal investigations and improve response efficiency.
