Surrey RCMP Frontline officers with the assistance of Air 1 took a suspect into custody, recovered a stolen motorcycle and seized illicit drugs.

On October 6, 2022, Surrey RCMP Frontline officers observed a motorcycle with no license plate run a red light and travel onto highway 99 northbound from the 16 Avenue on-ramp. Air 1, the police helicopter, was in the area and quickly located the motorcycle, safely following it from the sky.

The driver came to a stop, got off the bike, and fled on foot near 62 Avenue and 136 Street. Police converged in the area and located the 38- year-old suspect who was taken into police custody without incident. The driver had an outstanding warrant for beach of probation from another jurisdiction and remains in custody awaiting his next court appearance.

Police located just under 600 grams of suspected methamphetamine, cocaine and fentanyl in a satchel believed to have been discarded by the suspect while he fled from police. Through additional investigative steps, it was determined that the motorcycle was stolen on September 20, 2022 while being test driven by a potential buyer.

The keen eye of our Frontline officers in addition to the quick response of Air 1 lead to the recovery of stolen property and the seizure of over 2,800 doses of illicit drugs, says Surrey RCMP Watch Commander, Staff Sergeant Duane Honeyman. Officers are now working on completing additional investigative steps so that this matter can be brought before the courts.

Carney ties Trump’s tariff threat to upcoming CUSMA negotiations

Prime Minister Mark Carney says U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent threat to impose tariffs on Canadian goods is closely linked to upcoming talks on renewing the North American free-trade agreement. Trump, in a weekend post on social media referring to Carney as “governor,” warned that Canada could face 100 per cent tariffs if it completes a trade deal with China. Speaking to reporters in Ottawa on Monday, Carney described Trump as a “strong negotiator” and suggested that the president’s comments should be considered in the context of broader trade discussions. He added that he w

The British Columbia government is committing $600,000 to expand its forensic firearms laboratory, saying the investment is aimed at strengthening police efforts as extortion-related violence escalates in parts of the province.
