10 artikulo Nabuo 1 linggo ang nakalipas 98
  1. Nakakabigla: nabawi ang life sentences ng dalawang teenager sa pagpatay sa mekaniko sa Surrey — si Paul Prestbakmo pinagsasaksak noong 16/8/2019 malapit sa Semiahmoo Centre, 42 na saksak sa loob ng 26 segundo. Ang mga adol na 15 at 16 noong panahon ng krimen ay orihinal na hinatulang adult: life without parole for at least 7 years, pero sa apela naibalik sa pinakamataas ayon sa Youth Criminal Justice Act — 7 taon kabuuan (kasama 4 taon sa kustodiya). Sinasabi ng kapatid niyang si Elizabeth na pakiramdam niya "mukhang banayad lang" at nag-aalala siya na magagamit ang sistema para sa pag-aapela.

  2. Alerto ng kapitbahay: posibleng ipabuwag ang bahay ng hoarder sa West Vancouver — nasa 6507 Nelson Ave ang bahay na puno ng basura, may leaks, amag at peste; ni-disconnect ng BC Hydro ang kuryente noong Disyembre matapos ideklara na "Do Not Occupy." Kapitbahay na si Jennifer Reece tinawag itong "nightmare" at handa ang distrito na ipabuwag at singilin ang may-ari kung hindi aaksyon.

  3. Katapusan ng isang panahon: RCMP aalis sa Cloverdale pagkatapos ng mahigit 70 taon — nagsimula sila noong Mayo 1951 at aalis na opisyal sa Abril 1; inalala rin ang Const. Roger Pierlet na namatay noong 1974. Kasabay, tinaas ng Surrey Police Service ang signing bonus para sa eksperyensiyadong opisyal sa $30,000 (mula $20,000), na ikinabahala ni Mayor Brenda Locke.

  4. Babaeng balita: 4 na pamamaril sa Surrey sa loob ng 48 oras — mula Mar 28–30 may apat na insidente; Mar 28, napatay si Jasman Sekhon, 27, sa Sullivan Heights (pinaniniwalaang target). Kasama rin ang insidente noong Mar 29 kung saan umapela ang pulis na nagbaril (IIO ang nag-iimbestiga), Mar 30 may pamamaril sa 12300 block 77A Ave na may koneksyon sa pananakot/pangingikil, at Mar 30 umaga may pagsabog ng putok sa 5400 Production Blvd (walang nasaktan).

  5. Targeted na pagpatay: 27-anyos na may koneksyon sa drug trade napatay sa Surrey — IHIT sinabi na tumugon ang pulis sa 15100 block ng 60 Avenue bandang 6:39 p.m.; mga kapitbahay nagsabing hinanap ng madilim na SUV ang biktima bago barilin siya. Mga 15 minuto matapos ang insidente, natagpuan ang isang asul na Hyundai na nasusunog sa 186th & 44 Ave — iniimbestigahan kung konektado at hinihikayat ang mga saksi tumawag sa 1-877-551-IHIT (4448).

  6. Unyon humihiling ng work-from-home dahil sa fuel crisis — BCGEU at pangulo nitong si Paul Finch sinasabing mataas ang presyo ng gasolina at dapat payagan ang mga empleyado magtrabaho mula sa bahay kung maaari; Metro Vancouver humigit-kumulang $2/litre. Sinasabi rin ng unyon na maghanap ng pansamantalang tulong para sa mga trabahong maraming biyahe tulad ng home support workers; ang BCGEU may ~95,000 miyembro.

  7. Babala sa pandaraya dahil sa paparating na FIFA World Cup — Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at pulis ng host cities (Toronto, Vancouver) nagpapayo: mag-ingat sa fake tickets, pekeng short-term rentals at counterfeit goods. World Cup magsisimula Hunyo 11, may 48 teams at 13 matches sa Canada (6 sa Toronto, 7 sa Vancouver); bilhin mula sa opisyal na pinagkukunan.

  8. Weird case: lalaki sinampahan dahil sa pagnanakaw ng underwear sa Powell River — si David Farrell (age 56) sinasabing sangkot sa 5 count ng theft under $5,000 para sa mga insidente noong 16/5, 20/8, 24/9, 27/9 at 13/11/2025. Nahuli siya noong 13/11 na may kabuuang ninakaw; mga biktima nag-ulat lamang ng nawawalang undergarments. Susunod na pagdinig niya 31/3 sa Powell River Law Courts at pinagbawalan siyang pumunta sa recreation complex.

  9. Hatol: babae hinatulan ng halos 3 taon dahil sa pagsunog sa tao sa Langley — Samantha Elizabeth Florence Hall, 27, humarap sa Surrey Provincial Court at hinatulan ng 35.5 buwan noong 4/3 para sa pag-atake noong 12/7/2025 kung saan isang 37-anyos na babae nasunog at inospital. Hall nakakulong mula pa 15/7/2025; may 10-year na pagbabawal sa baril at DNA order, at may dagdag na kredito sa oras na nakakulong na.

  10. Maliit na lindol: 4.8 magnitude off northern Vancouver Island — Earthquakes Canada nag-ulat ng lindol mga 183 km kanluran ng Port Hardy bandang 10:50 a.m. noong Linggo, depth 5 km. Hindi naramdaman at walang tsunami risk o inaasahang pinsala; lindol na 3.5–5.4 kadalasang nararamdaman pero bihirang makasira.
