A drug-filled dialer-bag pulled from the rectum of a drug trafficker provides Surrey RCMP with an opportunity to educate would-be gang associates of the reality of the gang lifestyle.

On May 14, 2021 at 7:30 pm, officers from the Surrey RCMP Community Response Unit conducted a traffic stop with a rental vehicle in the area of 15200-block of 16 Avenue, to investigate an offence under the BC Motor Vehicle Act. During their interaction with the driver, officers observed evidence consistent with drug trafficking. The male driver and his passenger were arrested for possession for the purposes of trafficking.

Further investigation led officers to locate multiple cell phones. Both men were transported to police cells and during a search of the suspects, a large dialer bag full of suspected crack cocaine and powder cocaine was located protruding from the rectum of the vehicle’s passenger. When the bag was removed police located 18 rocks of suspected crack cocaine with a total weight of 9.05 grams and 26 spitballs of suspected powder cocaine with total weight of 14.05 grams.

The two men were released from custody pending further investigation, which includes lab analysis of the suspected drugs, charges are pending.

There are gang members on social media trying to sell the idea that gang life is a life of wealth, luxury and prestige, says Constable Sarbjit Sangha, Surrey RCMP Media Relations Officer. The reality is that gang members live in constant fear of getting robbed or murdered by other gang members, or getting arrested by police. This is the reason why they risk their lives by sticking bags of deadly drugs into their rectums.

Surrey RCMP is committed to shattering the image associated to the gang life-style, by educating youth about the dangerous realities of the gang life style. More information on Surrey RCMP’s anti-gang presentations visit our website.

Poilievre calls on Liberals to scrap the temporary foreign worker program

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on the Liberals to scrap the temporary foreign worker program and to stop issuing visas under the program. Poilievre argues a jobs crisis among young people has been caused in part by corporations hiring foreigners who work for less than Canadian citizens. He is calling out specific fast-food chains he claims are hiring foreigners over locals, including through job postings that call specifically for temporary foreign workers. Poilievre accuses the government of creating conditions that frustrate the efforts of young people to start their working

Carney cabinet meets to prepare for Parliament's return, debate trade war strategy

American tariffs and an upcoming review of the continental trade pact will headline discussions today as Prime Minister Mark Carney's cabinet begins its two-day retreat in Toronto. While previous governments referred to these sorts of gatherings as cabinet “retreats,” Carney’s office is rebranding the event as a “cabinet planning forum.” The meetings come two weeks before the House of Commons is to return for the fall sitting and about a month or so before Carney's new government presents its first federal budget. Ministers are expected to spend most of their time discussing U.S. Pre
