Re: White Rock Shooting: Four Men Seriously Hurt, BC, February 22, 2024
On Friday, RCMP unveiled a major unrelated organized crime bust, showing off guns and drugs and announcing eight arrests, including one man accused in a gang-related murder plot. Mounties said they are well aware of the public concern over escalating gang conflict, but pleaded for patience — noting major investigations can take months, even years. A key source of the firepower, according to police, is smugglers operating over the U.S. border. “I would like to see more investment, at all levels, into our border integrity program,” Teboul said. “It will take millions of dollars.” On Friday, B.C. Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth said police “are doing everything they can” to intercept guns — but also pointed to the border as a problem. |
