Teenager charged in Surrey stabbing

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 19 Sep, 2024 03:39 PM

Surrey R-C-M-P say one youth has been charged following a stabbing attack on two men earlier this month.

Police say on September 11th, officers responded to calls of a fight on 130-A Street.

Officers found two men with injuries and they were taken to hospital, while the suspects drove off before police could make the arrest.

Police eventually arrested two people, releasing one without charges while a 17-year-old man faces two counts of assault with a weapon and two counts of assault causing bodily harm.

Richmond, B.C., resident Edward Cheung says many community members feel they know exactly what will happen if a supervised safe consumption drug site is established in the city. Cheung, whose parents live close to a supportive housing complex that opened in 2019, said in an interview on Wednesday that the neighbourhood has dealt with a spike in petty crime since then, and he is worried something similar would happen with a safe consumption site.

More upgrades to improve flood resilience in Abbotsford, B.C., after 2021 disaster

Premier David Eby says his government will provide almost $80 million to help upgrade Abbotsford's Barrowtown Pump Station, which was nearly overwhelmed in 2021 by atmospheric rivers that set off catastrophic flooding in the Sumas Prairie. The area is a key bread basket for B.C., and Eby says the flooding on the Sumas Prairie could have been much worse had the pump station failed.
