On February 15th at approximately 11:00 am, New Westminster Police Department officers were called to Glenbrook Middle School for a report of indecent exposure.

Staff at the school phoned the New Westminster Police Department to report that an unknown male exposed his genitals to a group of children on the school grounds. The suspect is described as a Caucasian man, between 40 to 50 years of age, standing 5’6" tall, with a medium build, balding dark hair, wearing a blue puffy jacket, dark blue jeans, and black shoes. The suspect fled across 8th Avenue and towards McBride Boulevard and the Royal Square parking lot. Police are asking anyone with dash cam footage from that area between 10:30 am and 11:30 am to contact police.

"There were a number of witnesses who saw this incident and investigators will be looking to gather as much information as possible," stated Sergeant Sanjay Kumar. "While these kinds of situations are not overly common, they are certainly alarming for anyone to witness."

Police stop $406,000 fraud targeting northern Vancouver Island First Nation

Alert Bay RCMP say they have prevented a fraud scheme that targeted the Namgis First Nation, protecting more than $400,000 intended for a new wellness and treatment centre on northern Vancouver Island. The case came to light on May 13, when the First Nation reported that $406,000 earmarked for contractors had been redirected to a fraudulent bank account via a scam email. Authorities say early intervention was key in limiting the financial loss. Collaboration with law enforcement in Eastern Canada led to a freeze on the bank account, which police allege was operated by an organized crime group.
