Arresto de Dosanjh, secreto sobre indemnización en Metro Vancouver y bala perdida en Burnaby — Martes en Vancouver

22 articulos hace 1 hora 7

🚨 Crime & Public Safety

  1. El oficial de Vancouver Kal Dosanjh arrestado tras una investigación encubierta de más de dos años; 19 personas reportan pérdidas por más de $3 millones. La Policía de Vancouver detuvo al veterano agente Kal Dosanjh en una parada controlada en Surrey tras una investigación de más de dos años que, según los indagadores, está relacionada con desarrollos de vivienda; la policía afirma que 19 supuestas víctimas denunciaron pérdidas que suman más de $3 millones entre 2017 y 2025. El abogado de Dosanjh, Joven Narwal, sostiene que su defendido niega haber cometido delitos y cuestiona que el propio departamento investigue a uno de sus oficiales.

  2. Hombre de 85 años de Burnaby, Chang Yong Cho, muere por una bala perdida tras reporte de disparos. El Integrated Homicide Investigation Team dijo que el llamado por disparos cerca de 18th Avenue y Humphries Avenue ocurrió poco después de la 1:30 a. m. del 30 de agosto; la RCMP de Burnaby encontró al señor Cho en su apartamento en Kingsway alrededor de las 4 p. m. de ese día y se lo declaró muerto. IHIT afirma haber identificado a un grupo de jóvenes que podrían estar implicados o tener información y solicita que ellos y sus padres se presenten.

  3. Dos casas se incendiaron en la abandonada subdivisión Sechelt Seawatch; los bomberos solo pudieron monitorear las llamas. Los bomberos solo pudieron vigilar dos viviendas que se incendiaron alrededor de las 10 a. m. del sábado en el barrio Seawatch porque la zona está restringida desde una evacuación de 2019 por erosión y hundimientos; las 14 propiedades de la subdivisión siguen en litigio y los valores catastrales cayeron de aproximadamente $1 millón a $2. El subjefe de bomberos, Stephen Akterberg, dijo que no hay protección de agua y que la lucha contra el fuego se limitó a revisiones de seguridad para la vida.

🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Metro Vancouver aún no publica detalles de la indemnización de Jerry Dobrovolny; su salario superó los 567,000 dólares canadienses el año pasado. El presidente de la junta, Mike Hurley, dijo a Global News que los detalles se divulgarían el martes, pero Metro Vancouver no respondió a las solicitudes; el salario y los beneficios de Dobrovolny sumaron más de 567,000 dólares canadienses en el último año, y los críticos citan sobrecostos en la North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant y preocupaciones sobre ampliación de alcance y la remuneración ejecutiva. Candidatos y concejales exigen transparencia en medio de rumores sobre el monto del pago.

  2. William Azaroff se retira de la carrera por la alcaldía de Vancouver; deja a Pete Fry como único retador progresista. Azaroff anunció su salida en una conferencia de prensa en el Ayuntamiento, diciendo que su compromiso con OneCity de presentar un solo candidato progresista se cumplió; Fry, miembro de Vancouver Green y concejal desde 2018, es ahora la alternativa progresista al alcalde Ken Sim en las elecciones del 17 de octubre. La contienda también incluye a Kareem Allam y Colleen Hardwick.

  3. Telus demanda a exempleado por casi $1.1 millones por supuesto uso indebido de tarjeta de crédito de la empresa. Telus presentó un aviso de demanda civil en la Corte Suprema de Columbia Británica alegando que un exempleado compró más de 2,500 artículos —electrodomésticos y electrónicos— usando tarjetas de crédito corporativas a través de una cuenta comercial de Amazon, por un valor total de casi $1.1 millones; Telus afirma que el empleado fue despedido con causa el 13 de agosto y la empresa busca el reembolso, costos y daños.

  4. Un pellejo de perro lanudo de la zona de Chilliwack regresa a Columbia Británica después de ~160 años para exhibición museística. El Museum of Anthropology en UBC recibió el único pellejo sobreviviente de perro lanudo, que se dice proviene de territorios Stó:lō cerca de Chilliwack, en préstamo del Smithsonian tras unos 160 años en almacenamiento; el curador Jordan Wilson dijo que miembros de la comunidad local Coast Salish y tejedores examinaron el pellejo antes de su exhibición pública.
