The RCMP was called to a shared residence in the 2200-block of Brandywine Way on June 29 at 4:18 p.m. to investigate a call from a resident who said his roommate had vandalized the common area of their home, and broken into a third resident's room, stealing a computer, and "trashing" that room.

Statements were obtained and police observed a hole in one door.

Investigators also believed this incident was related to an earlier call about a man walking down Brandywine Way, holding a knife.

The man, a 26-year-old Whistler resident, was remanded in custody, and went to court on July 3 in North Vancouver to face charges of mischief under $5,000, theft under $5,000, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
