Multiple firearms and pre-packaged drugs were recently seized by the Surrey Gang Enforcement Team (SGET) during a vehicle stop in Newton, as the Surrey RCMP continues to target individuals associated with gang and drug trafficking activity.

Shortly after 11:30 p.m. on April 17, 2021, SGET conducted a traffic stop with a vehicle in the area of Woodland Place and 99 Avenue. During their interactions with the driver, the officer observed a weapon inside the vehicle and subsequently detained the driver for weapons possession.

Further investigation of the vehicle led to the discovery and seizure of several other weapons including a 12 gauge shotgun, 22 caliber semi-automatic rifle, starter pistol, firearms ammunition, and two knives.

Officers also located and seized multiple baggies of suspected fentanyl and suspected methamphetamine (see attached photos).

The driver was arrested for possession for the purpose of trafficking, and later released. Charges have not yet been laid as the investigation is on-going.

The outcome means all recall efforts launched since late last year against Premier Danielle Smith and members of her United Conservative Party caucus have either been withdra

Jason Kenney to debate Alberta separatism in May events

Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney will participate in two public debates this spring on the question of provincial separation, facing off against a Calgary lawyer who supports Alberta leaving Canada. The first debate is scheduled for May at a member-only conference hosted by Civitas Canada, a conservative non-profit, in Edmonton. Conference materials say both sides share a goal of “economic fairness for Alberta,” with Kenney and lawyer Keith Wilson debating whether staying in or leaving Canada best allows the province to “fulfil their destiny.” A second debate is planned for Calgary
