TL:DR

Sketchy dude who dipped from his halfway house after doing time for serious crimes got nabbed in Vancouver. Was living under a fake name and slinging food at a shelter. Cops finally caught up to him near Gore and Alexander. Also, someone yeeted a blue electric scooter near Surrey, and now the owner can't take care of her fam.

The Deets

Alright, listen up, fam. This is wild. So, there's this dude, right? He's 30, and he was doing time for some heavy stuff - like second-degree murder in Winnipeg, no cap. Plus, he roughed up some corrections officers, so he got extra time for that too.

Fast forward to March 2023, he gets statutory release and is supposed to chill at a halfway house in New Westminster. But nah, he pulls a Houdini and dips. A Canada-wide warrant gets issued in May 2023. For real, he straight ghosted.

Turns out, he was hiding out in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside for like, two years, living under a fake name. He was even holding down a part-time gig as kitchen staff at a shelter. Can you even imagine?

But the jig is up! Vancouver police finally caught him near Gore Avenue and Alexander Street on Saturday, May 10th. BUSTED!

Scooter Heist Alert: In other news from Surrey, some dude stole a blue electric scooter from a woman near the Walmart Superstore on King George Boulevard. The theft went down on a Tuesday around 2:50 p.m. The scooter-snatcher was seen heading north towards 102 Ave. If you see a scruffy looking dude in a grey Reebok hoodie, dark pants, black shoes, a white baseball cap, and sunglasses riding a blue scooter, call the cops! The woman uses the scooter to support her family, so that's lowkey messed up. 😭
