  • Man charged in series of robberies

Mounties in Surrey say a man has been charged with nine offences, including theft and disguise with intent after a series of robberies in the city. 

They say officers responded to a report of a jewelry store theft on October 7th, where a suspect stole about 27-thousand dollars worth of goods. 

Police say officers were able to identify the man -- who is believed to be tied to two other thefts -- through C-C-T-V footage.

They say a search warrant was executed at a home in Coquitlam on November 7th, where police found some of the missing jewelry, leading to the man's arrest.

Peter Nygard sentenced to 11 years for sexual assault convictions
Former fashion mogul Peter Nygard is a "sexual predator" who showed no empathy for his victims, an Ontario judge said Monday as he sentenced the disgraced tycoon to 11 years in prison for his crimes in Toronto. The 83-year-old's time behind bars will work out to a little less than seven years after accounting for credit he received for time already spent in custody, and Nygard will be eligible to apply for parole in just over two years.
