Dawson Creek RCMP Work To Connect Two Violent Attacks In Northern B.C.

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 05 Nov, 2015 01:51 PM
    DAWSON CREEK, B.C. — Mounties in Dawson Creek are trying to determine if two violent incidents in the northeastern B.C. city are connected.
     
    RCMP say no one was hurt Wednesday when three shotgun rounds were fired into a home, which has been seized while police conduct an investigation.
     
    Three men were inside and insist the house was targeted in error, but they are not co-operating with officers and Mounties say they have since learned of drug activity in the neighbourhood.
     
    Cpl. Dave Tyreman says police are trying to determine if the shooting is linked to a kidnapping and assault on Oct. 24 that ended with the victim beaten, bear sprayed and stabbed in the legs.
     
    The man survived but Tyreman says he is not co-operating and that is hampering the investigation.
     
    Officers are urging anyone with information to speak to police, either directly or anonymously through Crime Stoppers.
