Darpan News Desk Richmond RCMP, 16 Sep, 2021 12:43 PM

Investigators with Richmond RCMP’s Serious Crimes Unit continue to investigate two shots-fired incidents that allegedly occurred on the afternoon of September 13^th.

The suspect, a 64-year old man from Richmond, was located and arrested a short time later.

No one was injured, and the man has since been remanded in custody. At this time, there appears to be no further threat to public safety, nor does there appear to be any connection to the local gang conflict.

Investigators are now looking for dash-cam video that may have recorded the suspect’s vehicle in various locations as the events transpired. Areas of particular interest are:

1) In the vicinity of No. 4 Road and Finn Road at approximately noon;

2) On Granville Avenue between No. 4 and No. 5 Road at approximately 10:30 a.m. and again at approximately 12:50 p.m.; and

3) On South West Marine Drive and Blenheim Street, in Vancouver, at approximately 2:30 p.m.
