Gang Shootings And Deaths In Metro Vancouver Prompts Reassurance From B.C.'s Public Safety Minister

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 28 Oct, 2016 01:25 PM
    VANCOUVER — British Columbia's public safety minister has stepped in to reassure residents after several reports of targeted violence and deaths connected to gang activity in Metro Vancouver.
     
    Mike Morris says B.C.'s anti-gang units have their targets set on known gang members and their associates and he has confidence the units are working hard on the investigations.
     
    There was a shooting in Burnaby Wednesday that injured a man on the same day that human remains were found alongside a Langley street in what police said was a targeted killing.
     
     
    On Oct. 16, Langley police said that a "well-established member" of the Hells Angels was murdered and they arrested a man the next day who was allegedly from another crime organization.
     
    Morris says in a statement that he shares the public's concern about the risk to innocent bystanders to gang violence and police are working tirelessly to disrupt and stop these people.
     
    The minister says two, newly established 10-person teams within the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit are now fully operational.
