A U.S. film crew shooting a documentary about the world’s ‘most beautiful cities’ may have gotten the wrong picture of Vancouver.
All of their camera equipment and other items were stolen from a rental van while the Boston filmmakers were taking a coffee break on Wednesday.
Vancouver police said Thursday the video camera was valued at $50,000.
The thieves also took another camera, a cellphone, some headphones and all of the crew’s videotaped footage.
Const. Howard Chow says the robbery has the potential to hurt the image of the city.
“Ironically they were filming Vancouver as being one of the top places in the world to live and visit,” he said.
