North Vancouver man charged with impersonating RCMP officer
North Vancouver police say a man has been charged with impersonating an RCMP officer. The police department said they arrested the man earlier this year after he was reported driving a Ford F-150 with flashing lights like an emergency vehicle. In a Thursday news release, North Vancouver RCMP said the driver had allegedly pulled over a white Tesla and identified himself as an RCMP officer. An earlier news release in March said the driver was not wearing a police uniform, did not have any police equipment and did not provide police identification. Now, Wayne Church of North Vancouver has been charged with personating a peace officer and using equipment likely to cause the public to believe he was a peace officer. 'Question suspicious behaviour,' say police Police believe there could be additional victims who were pulled over by the same man. "We want to ensure the community feels empowered to question suspicious behaviour," Cpl. Mansoor Sahak said in a news release. "If something doesn't feel right during a traffic stop, trust your instincts and take steps to verify the officer's identity. Your caution could help prevent further incidents and assist in ongoing investigations." RCMP recommend verifying police identification if you suspect you have been pulled over by a police impersonator. You can request to see an officer's badge with photo ID displaying their regimental number. If you are still uncertain about the legitimacy of a stop, police recommend calling 911 immediately and expressing your concerns. "The dispatcher can verify if an officer is conducting a traffic stop in your area.… Genuine officers will understand and support your caution," reads the release.

Woman charged with arson after suspicious fire causes $1M damage at industrial complex
The damage on Tues., July 8, 2025, following a suspicious fire that ripped through an industrial complex in Collingwood, Ont. Police have made an arrest in a suspicious fire investigation after a blaze caused roughly $1 million damage in Collingwood earlier this month. On Wednesday evening, officers with Barrie police located and arrested a 34-year-old woman in connection with the destructive fire, which initially wasn't believed to be suspicious. Police said the July 7 fire originated in a storage shed at an industrial complex on Sandford Fleming Drive. It wasn't until later that morning that police said fire officials discovered surveillance footage that raised concerns about the cause. The Ontario Fire Marshal was notified and the OPP crime unit launched into an investigation. 'Detectives conducted a detailed review of surveillance video from the area and consulted information available through the OPP's records management and digital evidence management systems, which includes video footage from recently integrated body-worn camera recordings," OPP stated in a news release on Thursday. 'These efforts helped investigators identify an individual connected to the incident and develop grounds to seek an arrest warrant.' The accused is charged with arson. She was held in police custody overnight to await a bail hearing.
