Vancouver police say charges have been laid after a tourist was randomly assaulted near Canada Place last Sunday.
The V-P-D say a woman visiting Vancouver was walking near Canada Place's cruise ship terminal Sunday morning when a stranger repeatedly punched and kicked her.
Police say the woman sustained a number of injuries in the attack and had to go to hospital for treatment.
The V-P-D says they were able to find the suspect quickly thanks to witness reports and video evidence, and the 30-year-old man now faces one charge of aggravated assault.
Richmond R-C-M-P say they were called to a mobile phone store on Number 3 Road on Saturday night after strange noises were reported emanating from the business after hours. Police were searching the store when a 50-year-old female suspect fell through the ceiling in front of the officers.
Forecasts warn that temperatures will push into the low-to-mid-30s over the central and southern Interior regions, and northern B-C will see temperatures possibly reaching the high 20s.
Residents are asked to provide feedback through an online survey. The survey comes as Vancouver is conducting an extensive review to modernize and enhance its Noise Control bylaw.
Police say they found a vehicle last Friday that had been reported as stolen the day before. Inside, officers found a Panasonic Toughbook, two laptops, a metal detector, three satellite phones, a Sony P-S Vita and a cellphone.
Between April 27th and 29th, four women reported being sexually assaulted while walking through neighbourhoods around B-C Place and Rogers Arena. Police released a photo of a suspect yesterday and, following a tip from the public, a man was arrested in East Vancouver this morning.
Vancouver city council has approved changes to zoning in select areas of the Cambie Street corridor that it says will make it easier and faster to build up to 16-hundred townhouses. This change will allow applicants to proceed directly to a development permit application for townhouses in the approved areas.
