Two men who have been arrested for allegedly carjacking a delivery van in Richmond failed to consider that many of those vehicles come equipped with G-P-S tracking systems.
R-C-M-P say it happened on Sunday when the driver said his van was taken at gunpoint by two people wearing masks.
The van was tracked along Highway 91 and followed into Surrey where Mounties arrested a 29-year-old man and recovered the van.
They say a 27-year-old man later turned himself in to police.
Four people have been arrested and about 13-million-dollars in drugs have been seized as part of an ongoing investigation by Vancouver Police. Police say the drug seizures happened in March, when officers executed search warrants at various downtown locations.
The new Climate Ready B-C Seafood Program will fund marine carbon removal technologies as well as research and testing into acidification and low oxygen levels in the water. The program is being delivered by the Ocean Decade Collaborative Centre, a division of Tula Foundation.
The investigation progressed and in November 2020, CFSEU-BC investigators executed search warrants at four residences, two located in Burnaby, one in Vancouver, and one in Abbotsford. Two men and one woman were charged last week with a series of offences including trafficking and possession for the purpose of trafficking.
Police say a school bus tipped over on B.C.’s Sunshine Coast, sending the driver to the hospital with minor injuries. The crash happened at 8:37 a.m. on the side of Highway 101 in Madeira Park, about 100 kilometres northwest of Vancouver.
A B-C Highway Patrol officer says the teen was travelling at a speed of up to 209 kilometres per hour in a 100 kilometres per hour zone last week. The driver is facing multiple charges and is set to appear in court next month.
The city's police say a woman was crossing near Main and Georgia streets when she was struck just before 12:30 p-m. They say the driver is co-operating with the investigation.
