Richmond meth smuggler with Yakuza ties sentenced to eight years
A Richmond methamphetamine smuggler with links to the Japanese Yakuza cartel was sentenced Tuesday to eight years in prison. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Wendy Baker accepted a joint sentencing submission made by federal prosecutor Dan Meneley and Chun Yu Luk's lawyer Chantal Paquette. Luk was convicted last December on nine counts, including exporting almost 20 kilograms of methamphetamine to Japan and possessing for the purpose of trafficking fentanyl, carfentanil, methamphetamine, cocaine and MDMA. Baker said the eight years was appropriate because 'the volume of drugs and money found with Mr. Luk take him out of the range of the low-level trafficker.' She noted that the fentanyl found in his Richmond condo at 8080 Cambie St. was estimated to be worth almost $500,000, while the exported meth was valued at between $200,000 and $300,000. She accepted that Luk worked within a mid-level organization that was involved in both local street sales, as well as some international drug shipments. 'The drugs that were being trafficked were serious drugs and are responsible for many deaths in the province. This is conduct which leans in favour of a lengthier sentence,' Baker said. Meneley entered the agreed statement of facts in the case, which laid out the origins of the investigation into Luk's group, which began six years ago. In August 2019, the Canada Border Services Agency examined a package mailed to Japan from a postal outlet inside a Richmond tea store. Testing showed it contained methamphetamine. The Japanese National Police Agency was contacted and a controlled delivery was arranged. A month later, a second package was sent from the Aberdeen Mall. 'Again, a controlled delivery was arranged in conjunction with the (Japanese National Police Agency),' the statement said. Photos and video from the two postal outlets showed Luk and a second accused, Shuai Yuan, mailing the packages. The RCMP then watched Luk making drug transactions on Nov. 8, 2019. A search warrant was executed in June 2020 at the Richmond condo Luk shared with his common-law spouse Ya Bobo Chen. Yuan was also in the unit when police arrived. That is where all the other drugs were located, as well as a firearm, a replica gun, two tasers, three laptops, nine mobile phones, four sets of scales and a radio jammer. The Mounties also seized more than $95,000 in the condo, which has been the subject of a civil forfeiture lawsuit. Luk agreed to forfeit the cash and other items as part of the sentencing. Paquette noted that Luk had struggled with both mental illness and substance use disorder, leading to some of his criminal history. 'He had an unstable childhood. His criminal record really started after a downward spiral when his father committed suicide,' she told Baker. 'His father had some gambling issues, and his mother found out, asked for a divorce, and it led to Mr. Luk's father dying by suicide, which was very difficult on him, understandably, and that led him to use substances more heavily and to associate with negative peers and really make some bad choices.' But both Paquette and Meneley agreed that at the time of the drug offences in 2019 and 2020, Luk was stable and receiving treatment for his mental illness. 'In these circumstances, his moral culpability is not reduced by his mental illness,' Meneley said. 'In fact, his successful treatment enabled these offences.' Chen had also been facing drug charges, but those were stayed Tuesday after Luk was sentenced. Meanwhile, the whereabouts of Yuan, Luk's alleged accomplice, is currently unknown. A warrant has been issued for his arrest. When they was charged in 2022, the RCMP said it had dismantled 'a B.C.-based international organized crime network' with associates in Japan who had 'confirmed ties to the infamous Japanese Yakuza transnational organized crime syndicate.' kbolan@ Bluesky: @ Related Traveller charged with trafficking after meth found wrapped as gifts in suitcase Man charged with second-degree murder in 2024 Langley homicide

The location of his stolen bike is known, but this Winnipegger can't get it back
It only took a few minutes for Louis' bike to get stolen. He was picking up his son from daycare and briefly left his bike unattended and unlocked while he went inside to get his son. When he got outside, his bike was gone. "I immediately pulled up my Find My [app], so like an AirTag, which isn't the greatest tracker, but it is a tracker," the Winnipeg man said. "I decided to put one on because last year I also had a bike stolen … out of the backyard." CBC News has agreed to not share Louis' last name because his bike was stolen near his child's daycare and he's concerned for his family's safety. And while he's reported the theft to the Winnipeg Police Service, as of Friday, he hadn't heard back from them. Louis tracked his bike to a house on Disraeli Street in the Point Douglas area and knocked on the door. A man answered and said his roommate bought a bike earlier that day that matched the description of Louis' bike. "I mentioned that it was teal and orange in colour, and they mentioned, 'Ya, that sounds like the bike I have, that I bought today,'" said Louis. "He mentioned that he just wanted his money back, that he had paid for it." $50 to buy back bike? Louis went to a bank machine so he could buy his own bike back, but when he returned with the $50, the man was gone. That evening, he filed a police report online and registered the bike as stolen with 529 Garage, an anti-theft app. Louis continued to track his bike using the Find My app, hoping he might find it. "I did see a bright teal bike at an encampment on the other side of the bridge of Disraeli, but it was teal and black," said Louis. "There was probably five or six people around it … underneath the street lamp, kind of had three or so bikes around them and they could have been taking parts off, but I'm not sure." 3,000 bikes are stolen in Winnipeg each year Back in June, CBC asked police about bike thefts at the Disraeli encampment, and they said in an email they were investigating bike thefts and "chop shops." The city's website says around 3,000 bikes are stolen each year in Winnipeg. Louis said over the next few days the bike tracker moved around the downtown area. Eventually, it landed at a hotel on Main Street just north of Higgins Avenue. The AirTag says it's still there. He drove down Main Street to see if he could find it. "[Winnipeg Police Service] are probably busy with bigger things than a $500 bike, but when does it become a bigger problem?" said Louis. "I understand that one individual bike is not something they should be pursuing … but at the same time, I'm having to put myself in danger." Police response In a statement to CBC, Winnipeg Police said the stolen bike online report was triaged, and the property crimes unit has been assigned. "For their own safety, the Winnipeg Police Service advises citizens not to attempt to recover stolen property themselves. If someone knows the location of their stolen property, they can call the Non-Emergency Line," said a police statement. Police said anything requiring an immediate response should be reported over the phone. Louis said he did call the non-emergency line, but the automated phone service told him to report the theft online.
