Surrey RCMP has arrested a 28-year old man, who is alleged to have robbed the same Whalley bank twice, only weeks apart.

On October 16, 2021, Surrey RCMP received a report of a bank robbery in 10200-block of King George Boulevard. The suspect fled with cash prior to police arrival.

Surrey RCMP Robbery Unit conducted an extensive video canvass in the area and were able to obtain a photo of the suspect. The suspect photo was disseminated to all police agencies throughout the province using the Real Time Intelligence Center (RTIC-BC). As a result the suspect was identified.

On October 30, 2021, the Robbery Unit was in the process of requesting a warrant for the suspect in the first robbery when a second robbery occurred at the same bank. The suspect fled the area and despite their efforts, Frontline officers were not able to locate him.

The Surrey RCMP Robbery Unit took conduct of the second robbery investigation and were able to determine that the suspect was the same male who committed the robbery on October 16.

On November 5, 2021, two charges of robbery were laid against 28-year old, Jason Beherns of Surrey and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

On November 7, 2021, Surrey RCMP officers located and arrested Jason Beherns. He remains in custody awaiting his next court appearance.

Surrey RCMP Robbery Unit is committed to solving robberies, not because of the monetary loss, but because of the traumatic impact that it can have on victims. Says Media Relations Officer Cst. Sarbjit K. Sangha. We are hopeful that seeing this individual charged can bring some comfort to the people involved in these events.

Poilievre unveils action plan to combat extortion during Surrey visit

Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre unveiled a three-point action plan to combat extortion-related crime during a press conference held today at the Royal King Banquet Hall in Surrey -the same location where a shooting incident took place on July 21, 2025. Flanked by Abbotsford–South Langley MP Sukhman Gill, and candidates Sukh Pandher and Jassie Sahota (a police officer), Poilievre said extortion-related crimes have surged by 330% under Liberal rule. He attributed this rise to the repeal of mandatory jail terms for gun-related extortion under Bills C-5 and C-75. “Extortion-related

Police say man charged after Alberta youth launch 'catch a predator' scheme

Alberta RCMP say they have arrested and charged a Calgary man who, it was later determined, had been the focus of a ``catch a predator'' sting operation hatched by a group of youngsters. Mounties say the situation came to light in Airdrie on Monday night when a 12-year-old boy was abducted in a car only to escape at a stoplight and call police. The suspect, a 37-year-old, refused to stop for police and was later arrested at a Calgary residence. Subsequently, police said they learned the suspect had been targeted by at least seven youths in a ``catch a predator'' scheme. The you

Costs of Manitoba’s extreme wildfire season start to take shape, evacuations ongoing

The Manitoba government has signed a 30-million-dollar contract with the Canadian Red Cross for evacuee support and other services related to this year's wildfires. The recently disclosed contract is the first glimpse into the cost of this year's wildfire season, which provincial officials say is the most severe in at least 30 years. Finance Minister Adrien Sala (SAH'-lah) says it's still too early to estimate a final cost, and the government is committed to supporting people who need help. The Red Cross contract alone is worth more than half of the 50-million dollars the N-D-P gover
