PORT MOODY – Three teenage boys have been arrested after being caught scaling a multi-storey tower crane in the Metro Vancouver community of Port Moody.

Police say officers were called Thursday just before 11 p.m. to a fenced construction site in the 2300 block of St. Johns Street in Port Moody after someone reported spotting trespassers climbing the crane.

The three surrendered to police and were arrested before being released to their guardians.

Investigators say charge recommendations are being considered.

Spokesman Const. Sam Zacharias with Port Moody Police says construction sites are live-monitored around the clock for possible intruders.

He says accessing sites without authorization is not only illegal but potentially very dangerous.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 8, 2026.
