Man assaulted during Facebook Marketplace sale, New Westminster police say
Police in New Westminster say they're searching for a suspect who allegedly assaulted and stole from a Facebook Marketplace seller. The victim reported he met a person at Columbia Square to sell an iPhone Monday afternoon, according to the department. 'The victim shared that he gave chase to a man who handed him counterfeit bills,' the NWPD wrote in a news release Tuesday. 'The suspect then pepper sprayed the victim before fleeing the scene in a white Tesla with an unknown driver.' Police are asking anyone who witnessed the incident or can identify the suspect to come forward, describing him as an approximately 18- to 20-year-old white man with short brown hair who weighs about 120 pounds and is 5'5' tall. 'Theft and assault are serious matters and our officers are following up on several investigative avenues to identify the suspect,' said Sgt. Andrew Leaver, in the release. 'We're encouraging anyone who has CCTV in the area to please review it and reach out to officers if they have footage of this incident.' The NWPD also gave a reminder that selling items to strangers via online platforms like Facebook Marketplace can carry risks, and said anyone can use the department's lobby to make a transaction.

B.C.'s police watchdog deployed to officer-involved shooting in Surrey
A police incident in Clayton Heights is seen on Monday, July 7. B.C.'s police watchdog has been deployed to an officer-involved shooting in Surrey's Clayton Heights neighbourhood. The Surrey Police Service says the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is also involved in the case. It appears the situation began around 8:30 p.m. Monday night near 66A Avenue and 195 Street. Neighbours tell CTV News they saw police respond to a home on 66A Avenue and not long after they heard what sounded like four-to-five gunshots. 'Even though it occurred in Surrey, because it involved only RCMP members, the BC RCMP and the (Independent Investigations Office) will be issuing news releases later this morning and SPS will defer to the IIO, as the investigation into the shooting now rests with them,' said Sgt. Lindsey Houghton of the SPS in an email to CTV News Tuesday morning. Houghton could not provide details about the nature or time of the initial call the RCMP were responding to. Dozens of police, fire, and ambulance vehicles were deployed to the scene. The street and the laneway behind it were quickly put behind police tape as officers investigated. The IIO is the civilian oversight agency of the police in British Columbia. It investigates all officer-related incidents that result in serious harm or death, whether or not there is any allegation of wrongdoing. This is a developing story, check back for more information.
