  1. Bahay sa Surrey na target sa tatlong hiwalay na pamamaril

Iniimbestigahan ng pulisya ng Surrey ang tatlong pamamaril na tumama sa iisang bahay sa Guildford (11000-bloke ng 140A Street) ngayong buwan — Disyembre 7, 27 at 28 — lahat sa umaga. Walang nasugatan at wala pang inarestong suspek. Ayon sa pulisya, inaakala nilang target ang isang residente ng bahay; hindi malamang na may kaugnayan ito sa gang activity o mga kamakailang kaso ng pananakot sa komunidad ng South Asian.

  1. Malakas na ulan nagdulot ng pagsasara at muling pagbubukas ng ilang highway sa North Coast
