New Westminster police say two people have been arrested after a student was attacked with pepper spray at a high school earlier this month. The incident happened at New Westminster Secondary School the morning of May 17th.
They say an adult in their thirties and a youth were arrested after speaking with witnesses.
Police say they are still looking for more information about the incident.
Delta Police say four people were injured and Highway 17 was closed for several hours after a serious crash involving three vehicles yesterday evening. They say a vehicle hit a concrete median and rolled over, striking a second vehicle.
R-C-M-P say a head-on crash involving two vehicles shut down Highway 3 east of Creston for several hours and sent a number of people to hospital. The Mounties say the crash happened around 9:30 yesterday morning, when an S-U-V crossed the centre line and hit a pickup truck.
B.C. farmers say they're increasingly concerned about climate change and the impacts of extreme weather on food production in the province. Because of its warm climate, B.C. has a unique agriculture industry.
Persistent heat is expected to continue today in parts of British Columbia as the province continues to battle almost 400 active wildfires. Environment Canada says several communities in northern B.C. are facing heat warnings, with daily high temperatures predicted to reach in excess of 30 degrees.
The Mounties say officers received a report yesterday morning from the Surrey Fire Department about the sudden death of a man inside a home. They say police responding to the call found a 57-year-old man dead and arrested a 42-year-old man at the scene.
A 10-year-old boy is in hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries after being hit by two cars while riding his bike in Nanaimo. Mounties say the initial investigation shows the boy was riding his bike down a steep driveway near Nova Street when he suddenly rode onto Howard Avenue, where he was struck by a southbound vehicle, followed by another collision with a northbound vehicle.
