Surrey RCMP is requesting public assistance in locating a statue stolen from a church in the Guildford area.

On July 13, 2022 at 4:31 a.m., two suspects stole a bronze statue of St. Andrew Kim which was located on church property outside of the Education Centre Building at 10222 161 Street. The suspect used a dolly to transport the statue and load it into a camper van (see attached photos and videos).

The statue is described as two metres tall and depicts St. Andrew Kim. It is difficult to make out a suspect description based on the current evidence. The investigation is ongoing and police are actively working to identify the suspects.

A theft of this nature goes beyond the monetary value, the statue has sentimental significance to the St Andrew Kim Parish, says Surrey RCMP Media Relations Officer, Cst. Sarbjit K. Sangha Investigators are actively working to locate the statue so that it can be returned to the Parish. If anyone recognizes the suspects, suspect vehicle or knows that whereabouts of the statue, we encourage you to contact police.

‘Lake America’ in the U.S., ‘Lake Ontario’ in Canada: Google Maps Name Change Sparks Controversy

Amid the ongoing trade tensions between Canada and the United States, Google has renamed Lake Ontario as “Lake America” for users in the U.S. The move comes after U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing the lake’s name to be changed in U.S. government databases. Google has clarified that it updates its maps in accordance with government directives. As a result, users located in the United States will now see the body of water listed as Lake America, while it will continue to appear as Lake Ontario for users in Canada. In other parts of the world, Google Maps will
