Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 17 Jun, 2024 10:33 AM

Surrey RCMP arrests 20-year-old man on several charges relating to a stolen vehicle.

On June 11, 2024 at approximately 6:00 pm Surrey RCMP responded to a report of a stolen vehicle. The Surrey RCMP conducted an investigation, located the vehicle, and arrested a man in relation to the motor vehicle theft.

The Surrey RCMP Gang Enforcement Team (SGET) took conduct of the investigation and tracked the vehicle from Surrey to Richmond. SGET officers initially located both the vehicle and driver stopped in Surrey, and as officers gave arrest commands, the driver reportedly fled in the vehicle.

The vehicle was later relocated abandoned in Richmond, and the driver was arrested nearby with the assistance of Richmond RCMP Gang Enforcement Team (RGET) and Vancouver Police Department Gang Crime Unit (GCU). The driver was identified as 20-year-old Gurjot Singh Bhatti. He has been charged with the following in relation to the stolen vehicle:

• Possession of stolen property over $5,000
• Flight from police
• Driving while disqualified

Gurjot Bhatti remains in custody until his next appearance in court. As this matter is now before the court, no further details will be provided.

This was a multi-jurisdictional incident and highlights the coordination and collaboration of partner agencies to apprehend this individual, says Cpl. James Mason Media Relations Officer Surrey RCMP.

Feds release carbon pricing impact data as cost debate rages

Canada's greenhouse-gas emissions will be 12 per cent lower in 2030 with carbon pricing in place than they would be if it was scrapped, new federal data published Thursday suggest. The data also show that the pricing system for consumers and big industry in place could cause Canada's GDP to take a $25-billion hit at the end of the decade — 0.9 per cent below what it would be without the carbon price.
