Strategic targeted enforcement by the Surrey RCMP Gang Enforcement Team’s (SGET) has led to the seizure of drugs and cash, from a hidden compartment inside a vehicle.

On January 1, 2021 at approximately 11 p.m., an SGET officer conducted a traffic stop with a Nissan Maxima, in the 9000-block of 156 Street.

During the interaction with the driver, the officer observed a knife and bear spray inside the vehicle.

As a result, the driver was arrested for possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

As the investigation progressed, the officer observed signs that there may be a hidden compartment inside the vehicle.

The vehicle was subsequently seized and a search warrant was obtained.

The driver, who is known to police and has ties to the Lower Mainland gang conflict, was issued violation tickets and released at the scene pending further investigation.

On January 3, 2021, the search warrant was executed on the vehicle with the assistance of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU).

A hidden compartment was located inside the vehicle and several items were found inside including approximately $10,000 cash, and approximately 1 ounce of suspected cocaine.

The hidden compartment also held two bags containing hundreds of small packages of suspected crack cocaine and fentanyl.

TikTok CEO asks to meet with industry minister over shutdown order

The CEO of TikTok is asking Industry Minister Mélanie Joly for an urgent meeting about the federal government’s order directing the company to shut down its Canadian operations. Shou Chew wrote to Joly on July 2 asking for an in-person meeting within two weeks, according to a letter obtained by The Canadian Press.

Premier Danielle Smith says the ban is about fairness on the playing field so that girls are not battling opponents with biological advantages. But detractors say it's about stigmatizing and punish
