Mounties in North Vancouver are asking for the public's help in locating an urn stolen from a car over the weekend.
R-C-M-P say they received multiple reports of vehicle break-ins on West 21st Street around 10:30 Saturday morning.
They say one of the callers reported that her late husband's ashes were in an urn stolen from a white Kia Forte.
Police are asking anyone with information to come forward or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS to remain anonymous.
The offences included a commercial break and enter in the 11000 block of Bridgeport Rd on January 30, 2022 and a commercial break and enter to a business in the 8000 block of Granville Ave on February 9, 2022.
The organization says it currently has only four days worth of O+ blood type supply and five days worth of O- and B- blood types, along with six days worth of A- blood type and seven days worth of A+ and B+ blood types. Spokeswoman Delphine Denis says collections have been steadily decreasing since July 1.
The nearly 60-square-kilometre wildfire is located about 21 kilometres southwest of Penticton. It has prompted an evacuation order of more than 500 properties and put more than 1,000 others under orders to be ready to leave at short notice.
Police say the car was first spotted at about 3 p.m. and then again in a different area just after 4 p.m. They say they knew based on recent information that the vehicle had been involved in a recent violent crime in another jurisdiction and authorized a police pursuit.
The surviving victim, who was driving, is believed to have a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. Police say they are working to find out when and where the shooting happened, and how far the vehicle travelled before the driver pulled over.
The victims have been identified as 26-year-old Harbir Khosa, 20-year old Robeen Soreni, and 19-year-old Jordan Krishna. Khosa and Krishna are both known to police. Two of the three victims died. All three victims are from Surrey.
