VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Best not to brag about the car you are about to steal on a SkyTrain packed full of people.

A man wanted on several warrants has now been arrested because he couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

Another man overhearing the conversation got a good look at the guy, he then went and told officers outside the Commercial SkyTrain Station according to Anne Drennan with Transit Police.

“[He was] speaking to someone that he knew, so there were two of them that were riding together, but the conversation could be easily overheard.”

Drennan says it’s too bad this doesn’t happen more often.

“We would love if people who have random conversations in public (laugh) in public that could be overheard by other people, talking about the fact that they’re wanted or that they’re going to commit a crime such as they’re going to steal a vehicle.”

Justin Butters, 24, makes his next court appearance on March 8th.
