R-C-M-P in Surrey are using a new tool to educate young people about gang violence in the hopes of discouraging their involvement in them.
Officers from the Mounties' gang enforcement team will be sharing a new video specifically created for Surrey youth during school presentations.
The video features a person who spent 12 years in prison for second-degree murder after getting involved with gangs, as well as a mother who lost her son to gang violence.
The goal is to show youth the reality of joining gangs and the consequences they will face in doing so.
Coquitlam RCMP say a man was arrested for allegedly driving his vehicle through the scene of a fatal collision. Police say a passenger in one of the vehicles involved in the October 19th collision has since died of their injuries and a driver remains in hospital.

A 44-year-old Vancouver man has pleaded guilty to two separate, unprovoked stabbings that happened in -- or near -- the city's Chinatown neighbourhood in September of last year.
