Surrey RCMP Frontline officers with the assistance of Air 1 took a suspect into custody, recovered a stolen motorcycle and seized illicit drugs.

On October 6, 2022, Surrey RCMP Frontline officers observed a motorcycle with no license plate run a red light and travel onto highway 99 northbound from the 16 Avenue on-ramp. Air 1, the police helicopter, was in the area and quickly located the motorcycle, safely following it from the sky.

The driver came to a stop, got off the bike, and fled on foot near 62 Avenue and 136 Street. Police converged in the area and located the 38- year-old suspect who was taken into police custody without incident. The driver had an outstanding warrant for beach of probation from another jurisdiction and remains in custody awaiting his next court appearance.

Police located just under 600 grams of suspected methamphetamine, cocaine and fentanyl in a satchel believed to have been discarded by the suspect while he fled from police. Through additional investigative steps, it was determined that the motorcycle was stolen on September 20, 2022 while being test driven by a potential buyer.

The keen eye of our Frontline officers in addition to the quick response of Air 1 lead to the recovery of stolen property and the seizure of over 2,800 doses of illicit drugs, says Surrey RCMP Watch Commander, Staff Sergeant Duane Honeyman. Officers are now working on completing additional investigative steps so that this matter can be brought before the courts.

Man found not criminally responsible in 2023 Vancouver Chinatown festival stabbings

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled that a man who stabbed three people during a Vancouver Chinatown festival in 2023 is not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder. Justice Eric Gottardi delivered the decision Friday, saying the law does not convict people for acts committed while they are mentally ill. The ruling concerns 67-year-old Blair Donnelly, whose trial heard he believed he was acting under divine instruction when he carried out the attack last September. Court testimony showed Donnelly had asked the Holy Spirit for a sign not to proceed, but said he “wanted to obey God”

Alberta pays $95 million to settle another coal policy lawsuit, total payouts near $240 million

The Alberta government has agreed to pay $95 million to Evolve Power, resolving another lawsuit linked to the province’s reversal of its coal policy. The latest settlement brings total payouts to almost $240 million, following a $143 million agreement reached earlier this year with another mining company. According to a notice to shareholders, Evolve Power will return two coal leases to the province as part of the deal. The company said the agreement represents the best possible outcome and that its board will soon determine dividends for shareholders. Energy Minister Brian Jean’s office c

Fraser Valley hospital begins $4.95M MRI upgrade to improve diagnostic access

Patients across the Fraser Valley will soon benefit from faster and more accurate diagnostic imaging as Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre undergoes a $4.95 million upgrade to its MRI unit. The project aims to enhance imaging quality and reduce wait times for residents needing critical scans. During the construction period, a mobile MRI unit will remain on site to ensure uninterrupted service. The hospital’s existing MRI scanner, which has surpassed its expected lifespan, will be fully refurbished using its original magnet – the most energy-intensive component to produce – wh

Statistics Canada delays trade data release as U.S. government shutdown halts information flow

Statistics Canada says it is postponing the release of Canada’s international trade figures due to a lack of data from the United States, where a government shutdown has disrupted operations at the U.S. Census Bureau. The federal agency said it normally depends on U.S. import data to calculate Canadian export volumes but has not received updated information since the shutdown began in early October over a budget standoff in Congress. As a result, trade statistics for September, originally scheduled for publication on November 4, will be delayed. Statistics Canada said it will not be able to

Strong winds, rain turn off the lights as weather system moves to southern B.C.

High winds and torrential rains knocked out power to several parts of British Columbia overnight as a frontal system pushed south, prompting more warnings from Environment Canada. BC Hydro says thousands of people were without power on Vancouver Island, the central Interior and in northern B.C. as the system moved past, although crews had managed to get the lights back on to all but a few thousand by this morning. Environment Canada says both Terrace and Kitimat received the most rain at 95 millimetres each, while wind gusts reached 87 km/h in Prince George and 93 km/h in Bella Bella. The stro
