Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 02 Feb, 2024 01:55 PM
  • Man charged with multiple B & E's

A man suspected of multiple break-and-enters last year and in 2022 has been charged with 27 counts in relation to the incidents.

Burnaby Mounties say the 44-year-old is facing charges ranging from break-and-enter to possession of stolen property, including for the purpose of trafficking.

Police say they arrested the man in March 2023 after executing search warrants at three properties and recovering goods valued at hundreds-of-thousands of dollars.

They say the suspect allegedly targeted high-end homes under construction, and the goods seized include stoves, refrigerators, toilets, flooring and lighting.

Premier David Eby says an emotional conversation with the father of a 12-year-old British Columbia boy who killed himself after falling prey to online sextortion has prompted him to push for more protections for youth. Eby says the New Democrat government plans changes in the new year honouring the memory of Carson Cleland of Prince George, who police said died in October after being victimized online.

Choice is between BC United and NDP, says Kevin Falcon, shrugging off Conservatives

Choice is between BC United and NDP, says Kevin Falcon, shrugging off Conservatives
