Vancouver police are on the lookout for a man wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.
Twenty-seven-year-old Harjot Singh Samra was released from prison yesterday but failed to report to his Vancouver halfway house.
Vancouver police say they spotted him driving a vehicle near Cambie Street and Marine Drive last night and tried to stop it before it sped away.
Samra is a federal offender with numerous drug and weapons charges and anyone who sees him is asked to call 9-1-1.
Ottawa released a statement Wednesday confirming that it was going ahead with the expropriations without the consent of all affected land owners. Federal Transport Minister Omar Alghabra and Procurement Minister Helena Jaczek say in the release that the federal government will take physical possession of the parcels of land required for the project on Aug. 1.
Ottawa is also adding $13 million to its funding for law enforcement, as Canada and the U.S. focus on shoring up the work of the Haitian National Police as they try to stop gangs from committing brazen acts of violence and controlling critical infrastructure.
A man is suing a fast-food restaurant in B-C after allegedly finding a metal bolt in his meal. Court documents say carpenter Roman Chromy was eating at a New Westminster McDonald's where he bought the allegedly contaminated food.
A B-C man has been found guilty of sexual assault stemming from an attack in Metro Vancouver in early 2022. North Vancouver R-C-M-P say Mission resident Jairus-Paul Sacramento is to be sentenced in court at a later date.
Prince Rupert R-C-M-P say in a media release that officers responded to a call to the 100 block of Silversides Drive on Tuesday evening. Police say they do not believe there is a risk to the public, nor is there an outstanding suspect in the case.
The province says the B-C Demographic Survey was created through engagement with Indigenous and other racialized communities. The province says the survey can be accessed via the government's website or by calling a toll-free number.
