Surrey RCMP is informing the public that three youths who allegedly stole a parcel from a porch were identified, arrested and referred to extrajudicial measures.

On March 4, 2022, Surrey RCMP received a report of a theft of package from a residence located in 8600-block of 156 Street. Police attended and learned that a package containing items such as designer jackets, shoes, sunglasses and t-shirts was stolen.

Surrey RCMP Frontline officer’s investigation led to the arrest of 3 youths, who have since been released from custody. The majority of the items stolen have been returned to their rightful owner.

Given the ages and lack of police history, the youth are being referred to the Youth Intervention Program (YIP). The YIP is designed to divert young people away from the criminal justice system and further criminality. The program holds youth accountable and addresses other issues that may be leading to criminal behaviours.

Frequent recidivism checks are done on those youth who complete the program, which has a high rate of success deterring participants from future criminality. says Surrey RCMP Media Relations Officer, Constable Gurvinder Ghag. Almost 97% of youth who complete the Youth Intervention Program are not charged with any criminal acts within the first 12 months of completion.

RCMP investigate after electric substation shot at, causing oil leak and power outage

An investigation is underway after an electricity substation near the Alberta-Saskatchewan boundary was shot at early Monday, spilling oil and leaving thousands in the dark. RCMP say they responded to a ``firearms-related'' call at an Atco substation in Lloydminster, a town straddling the provincial boundary. They say the facility was shot at and a bullet hit an oil tank, knocking out power to more than 2,500 residents for at least three hours and releasing roughly 20,000 litres of oil. Preliminary estimates place the cost of damage and environmental cleanup at about $1.1 million

Suicide car bomber strikes a school bus in southwestern Pakistan, killing 4 children, officials say

A suicide car bomber struck a school bus in restive southwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, killing at least four children and wounding 38 others, a government official said. A local deputy commissioner, Yasir Iqbal, said the attack occurred in Khuzdar, a district in Balochistan province, as the bus was transporting children to school in the city. No group immediately claimed responsibility, though suspicion is likely to fall on ethnic Baloch separatists, who frequently target security forces and civilians in the region. Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi strongly condemned the attack and

The office of U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says he plans to use the meeting to "focus on the need to addre
