Police vehicle rammed in Walmart

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 17 Dec, 2024 02:11 PM
  • Police vehicle rammed in Walmart

A man who rammed a police vehicle in the Walmart parking lot in Quesnel was tracked down with a police dog last night.

R-C-M-P say they received a report of a stolen vehicle yesterday and officers found it at Walmart with the suspect still inside.

The driver got away by running the stolen vehicle into the police cruiser, but the R-C-M-P later received a report of the vehicle going off the road and the man leaving on foot.

The dog tracked the suspect to a barricaded shed, where police arrested the 30-year-old who they say was supposed to be on electronic monitoring, but had removed his ankle device.

B.C. charities worried Canada Post strike will affect fundraising efforts
Some B.C. charities and not-for-profits said they are worried the Canada Post strike will jeopardize their year-end fundraising efforts. Nicole Mucci, a spokeswoman for Union Gospel Mission in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, said 50 per cent of the organization's revenue normally comes between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and a mail strike at this time of the year is "detrimental" since so many donations come in the mail.
