00:10:07
right behind him yeah which way did he run when he come up all right that's where I first tackled him was
00:10:17
right in here all right and you think he had a flashlight or a screwdriver here but I didn't even see the screwdriver
00:10:23
and still he said I'm gonna stab you and then it looked in his darn hands and
00:10:26
sure enough never made it over the pencil because I grabbed them somewhere around here he
00:10:35
struggled around right here was this gate open or closed before um it was uh you see there's all
00:10:41
footprints in the bushes here you know were you wrestling here no okay the flash right here where we're here
00:10:51

00:11:06
screwdriver missing now did anyone pick up a screwdriver here I got it here Okay Kevin
00:11:20

00:11:56
the morning okay sounds good all right you got your knee yeah let's see I'll be
00:12:03
in your shoulder turn around okay Kevin's tied up here with some exhibits we have a flashlight with a
00:12:13
covering over the lens to hide the bright light as well as a we have the screwdriver so let's do the neighborhood
00:12:20
to find if there's an accomplice here Frank if you would return to assist us
00:12:24
and we'll let gospel McDougall and the guards take care of him okay what we have here is the
00:12:34
policeman's residence he woke up in the wee hours of the morning it was 1 40
00:12:38
when we arrested the fellow on the street the policeman was fighting with him and he woke up to find a man in
00:12:44
their bedroom and he chased the man out of the residence he wrestled with him inside and outside
00:12:49
the residence near the garbage cans where Constable Ben found the flashlight there was a beer can outside the kitchen
00:12:56
window where he obviously entered the kitchen window was open and the screen was forced in
00:13:01
and of course when we arrived as you saw the policeman was fighting with him on the driveway of the neighbor's residence
00:13:07
and we arrested him we'll check the neighborhood now to see if he does have an accomplice on foot somewhere and
00:13:14
we'll know then and we'll go from there okay we just got a call of uh president
00:13:22
in the neighborhood it found there's a vehicle by his residence at 26 Mission
00:13:27
Springs and that's where we're heading now he states that the vehicle should
00:13:30
not be there and it's probably related to this break and Enter that we just came from
00:13:40
look at this piece look at this Kirk different beer cans obviously a Tiny Town Car
00:13:52
this is a broken glass on the seat from the back window that's been broken out
00:14:08
yeah I thought right there here my crate there in the middle so watch what you're
00:14:15
doing oh yeah okay yeah okay we've got more needles in the glove box yeah I would tend to think it's probably
00:14:36
a store and Deco here on the back I'll give you a number here to copy it appears that the man we have in
00:14:42
custody is an addict in the vehicle we found insulin syringes and this just goes to show you that this
00:14:49
neighborhood is approximately four miles from the downtown core of the city it's
00:14:54
a rural neighborhood it's one of the walled neighborhoods that has a wall around it it has two entrances into the
00:15:00
neighborhood and each of the houses are close together with six foot fences and you must be safety conscious and
00:15:08
security conscious about your residence when sleeping this man entered the residence with a screwdriver in one of
00:15:13
the back windows forced the screen in and then he smart enough that he opened the patio door to allow himself and his
00:15:19
accomplice and Escape Route of course he made mistakes he got caught also the mistake he made is he leaves a beer can
00:15:26
at the scene which has fingerprints on it so for all of you who feel that this won't happen to you it does happen to
00:15:33
you and you're going to have to be more aware of Safety and Security for your
00:15:37
family especially today [Music] we've got 10 members working on this particular buying bus we've got myself
00:15:49
and and my partner up here doing the observations are actually trying to identify the drug dealers and then
00:15:56
direct the buyer in to make the buy and then direct the rest team in and we do everything to make sure that the
00:16:02
person's apprehended without injury to the person without injury to our members
00:16:06
better party's got a dark could be a jean jacket jeans and dark hair they're
00:16:12
obviously a couple next to them is another white guy sitting down on the uh sidewalk with a
00:16:24
dark shirt with the sleeves rolled up dark pants we've got uh three parties up in the
00:16:31
next block here and they're standing in front of a location that's commonly used
00:16:35
for drug dealing um unfortunately it's a bit difficult for us to you know from this distance to tell
00:16:42
precisely what they're up to but I'm reasonably confident that's what they're
00:16:45
doing so we're going to do is we're going to send one of our operators out
00:16:48
and she'll attempt to make a buy we've got basically we've got our our buyers
00:16:54
in position and they're just south of the location where the where we believe the deters
00:17:00
are acting Russ whenever you're ready and we've got some other members out on
00:17:04
foot in a position to actually do the apprehension what we're going to do is
00:17:08
because it's a bit difficult to fully determine the description from here as
00:17:12
soon as the person makes the buy they're going to come back and provide us with
00:17:14
an exact description of the seller so that we can broadcast that to the rest team and make sure that we get the right
00:17:20
party one of the other two members with the buyer is going to be broadcasting their location the whole way along so we
00:17:25
can keep track of the buyer and in that way ensure their safety and also enable us to keep track of exactly you know
00:17:33
what's taking place and let the rest teams know as well as Russo yet we're just yeah
00:17:42
can you talk to him stand by for a second so Thomas far as you can go as Astoria
00:17:50
we've got our buyer out we got he's uh basically going to come to the end of
00:17:55
the lane here and work his way down to Hasting Street and from there he'll uh
00:18:00
work himself eastbound towards the people that we believe are buying out on the north side of the street here
00:18:07
our buyers are at the corner there across the street do you have coffee okay he's now walking eastbound on the
00:18:32
south sidewalk foreign call that for me Winston on those sidewalk change brief conversation
00:18:52
okay description run you're ready uh mail with a white top let's heads out of you right now he's
00:19:02
talking all by himself with us looks like that party might have hit on a Russ he's about a quarter block from there
00:19:21
okay their heads are out to you for a banner is there any awning on there [Music]
00:19:28
the walking he's Bound by himself no signal copy very easy oh looks like can we have a deal going
00:19:43
down here encryption's tough it's uh cure jean jacket and jeans back to me I can't tell they're right
00:19:56
almost underneath Ted Harris paints no changes just talking looks like an exchange might be happening I can't see
00:20:12
it Russ is walking westbound back to the meet Target's not moving yeah he's currently coming westbound
00:20:24
towards Healy he's about uh he's he's down by Russ is just on his way back
00:20:29
we're gonna confirm the description I got the guy in view there's nowhere
00:20:32
okay Michelle's got him yeah it looks like it looks like the bite is being made
00:20:37
just waiting to confirm it right now [Music] wearing a jean jacket five 105 pounds 5
00:20:47
10 155 pounds white shoes [Music] and you've got all 40 bucks on them copy you might have made the exchange already
00:21:01
okay um guys the rest teams the guys standing with two other people just to the west of Terrace Ted Harris paints
00:21:08
now he's just walking a bit rest team's moving all right okay time's off now
00:21:17
we're actually going to move the two arrest teams in so they should be moving
00:21:21
on to Hasting Street momentarily spawn real slowly it's our Target in the jean jacket next to a guy in the red
00:21:31
jacket we don't want the red jacket just separated now the guys walking eastbound by himself
00:21:38
the rest team's moving in yeah okay he's crossing the street he's going
00:21:44
Southbound he's running and you guys got him can you get the guy in the red too in
00:21:49
case money was passed okay we have an arrest after he uh after he sold the drugs to our undercover buyer
00:21:59
he met up with another party so there's a chance that he passed off the money
00:22:02
from the sales the drugs and we're just going to confirm that the that our members in fact did recover the money
00:22:09
if they didn't will be will be attempting to apprehend the second party that he made a contact with
00:22:14
what's happening down here is you're getting little groups of drug dealers
00:22:17
working together one person usually a female quite often a female will be holding the drugs and that males will
00:22:25
build actively selling the drugs go ahead Dre yeah you got the guy in red um okay we're looking for a 20 or 10 and
00:22:36
two fives foreign so it looks like we got the other party in custody that at least one of the
00:22:42
parties in custody that our dealer made contact with after selling so hopefully we'll be able
00:22:48
to recover our money still a chance to be passed off to another party though dealt with two people and then he dealt
00:22:53
with the guy in the red dirt is checking the guy in the red we lost his other two
00:23:03
we want to confirm with Michelle the show numbers I really like about this particular
00:23:12
location is we've got an excellent view of three blocks and all all these three
00:23:16
blocks are ones that drug dealers regularly frequent so uh so what we're doing in this instance we've frightened
00:23:23
off all the potential traffickers two blocks to the East and now we'll do is
00:23:27
we'll just move two blocks over and we've already spotted another potential
00:23:31
theater in front of a grocery store so right now we're moving our arrest team and our buyers down into a position
00:23:37
to possibly make a buy at that location I just observed the party go back to the
00:23:42
Lane which is probably something to do with where he's got a stash located and
00:23:46
he's returned to the same location so we'll see what happens here that's quite
00:23:50
promising to Serve and Protect we'll be right back what we have now we have a report that's
00:24:03
a single car motor vehicle accident where someone's ran into a fence the people that reported feel it's
00:24:14
possible as a female driver and she's impaired to try and leave the scene right now
00:24:21
so we have myself another traffic vehicle over there and also a dog you see she went down that walked down
00:24:30
the street there okay the situation we have here we had possibly an impaired driver a female
00:24:41
she's kind of spin out in the snow and on the side of the road there and hit
00:24:45
this gentleman's fence well the cost was got her in custody right now and we'll just try to get
00:24:51
things figured out as to why she left the scene and what her level of us being sober is
00:24:58
it okay boys boys listen boys listen we don't have any options okay okay for boys
00:25:14
yeah I am not okay and I don't I know I remember here's my Reggie show no okay great
00:25:34
thanks okay I just arrested her for impaired okay yeah okay did you actually see her in the driver's
00:25:58
seat of the car she was getting out of the car when I saw her but did you see anybody else no that was just her
00:26:05
herself and what happened then I I asked her what happened I said she says nothing and she kept running I think the
00:26:11
people beside us saw her too because they told me when I opened the door they told me I was running time was that well
00:26:18
I don't know what time it is now okay it's 2 10 right now so give me an estimation 15 no 10 minutes ago okay who
00:26:24
telephone the police I did okay and how soon after the accident did you telephone the police as soon as possible
00:26:31
because I live downstairs and I was sleeping then you heard the crash yeah okay and then you're the one to
00:26:39
telephone that's right okay and you're the one that saw her getting out of the
00:26:43
dress exactly okay right after the crack right after the crash yeah and you didn't see anybody else no nobody else
00:26:49
did you come out right away yeah yeah and did you look in the car then did I what did you look into the car no I
00:26:55
didn't see anybody else no I didn't look I just saw her running and then she ran
00:27:00
down the street here then what happened and then uh I told him and he called you
00:27:05
guys and then we went down to look for hair and when we were coming back she was coming back this way okay and we
00:27:11
told her how long was she out of your sight I guess a couple of minutes okay so we
00:27:19
went right just on the street over here yeah yeah you can ask the people they saw her too I think right is that your
00:27:26
car that is my car okay why are we gonna do that because it was just stolen did you were you driving it tonight no
00:27:39
no no okay there's gonna be probably three people or four we're gonna have to do quick
00:27:48
statements at the time of the accident down we got continuity except for a couple minutes when she runs around the
00:27:53
corners yeah may or may not be an issue so we can established the time of the accident that she was getting out of the
00:27:58
driver's seat of the vehicle okay right after the crash and there's nobody else
00:28:02
okay so let's see if we get another three yeah she's trying to tell us here
00:28:07
that it's uh stolen yeah okay [Music] [Music] so we can redo that and I'll give you my
00:28:32
time my time of arrest would be about 208 after I chased her down the road there okay
00:28:40
in my opinion almost immediately yeah as a necessary enable with proper analysis to make to determine the
00:28:51
concentration if any of alcohol in your blood and to accompany me for the purpose of the neighboring such samples
00:28:57
and taking them understand what that means basically that's called the breath
00:29:00
demand I'm asking you to come now give me a sample your breath okay for alcohol
00:29:14

00:29:46
Detachment we're going to conduct a breathalyzer on her she's saying that
00:29:52
she in fact didn't drive the vehicle we have three Witnesses at SAR get out of the vehicle so we've got to
00:29:58
behind the wheel for carrying control she's saying that her vehicle was stolen
00:30:03

00:37:35
this is my Uncle Willie Willie alfons senior this is Vince Vince Tucker he's
00:37:41
our new guy here at the Williams Lake RCMP office so I'm just going to introducing there on the community here
00:37:46
yeah I just got here about two weeks ago I just want you to experience a little bit about the residential school here
00:37:51
but myself being there and my Uncle Willie being at a residential school you know which is located approximately 15
00:37:59
or 20 kilometers southeast of Williams Lake I'll never forget this all right glad to
00:38:11
see it being torn down brings about a lot of bad memories for not me but pretty well most solid natives that went
00:38:19
here I guess uh taking this building down like you know for my opinion I guess it's it's good it's best for this
00:38:29
building to come down you know I've talked to quite a few the other people that uh have been saying like says yeah
00:38:36
why don't they blow up that building they say like I mean I'm I'm kind of
00:38:40
glad this building is coming down is that why they're taking it down because
00:38:43
of all the I'm not too sure why they're bringing it down uh I never heard but
00:38:48
I'm sure glad it's coming down yeah how many years has that school been open
00:38:53
for um not exactly it's the early 1900s I'm pretty sure that's when it opened but
00:38:59
myself I was there between uh somewhere in the middle 70s or 72 73 somewhere I was back in there for three
00:39:09
years myself and my Uncle Willie was back there early in the 1950s somewhere in there and just a little difference of
00:39:17
experience I guess we had I myself had a good experience and my Uncle Willie here
00:39:22
had uh I was going to ask you was it a little easier for you than it was for your uncle I haven't really got anything
00:39:28
good to say about it that's pretty well all back to my experience bad experiences
00:39:33
did you just stay down there during the week and then go home on the weekends or
00:39:35
no first 10 months of the year did you and then came home for two months yeah and
00:39:41
uh yeah we weren't allowed to stay in no matter how cold it was if our parents couldn't afford the
00:39:50
winter gloves or window jackets for us it was around tough luck we had to go out whether we like it or
00:39:56
not really it was hard for me like you know going home on weekends and like like during the weekdays where I needed
00:40:03
my parents to be beside me like you know I kind of felt like I felt like taking off a few times
00:40:10
but if I were taken off like I mean I I wouldn't really know what to do like you
00:40:15
know I would get into trouble this is all you know Yeah in our visiting physician
00:40:21
privileges too we're just done an Empire they used to call a partner that's where we used to do our visioning
00:40:28
Saturdays and mostly on Sundays visiting with the parents or relatives where was The Parlor at The Parlor was
00:40:36
just right next to the front door it sounds like it almost like a jail how are your feelings towards the police
00:40:41
back then because you do you probably saw them quite a bit well did you have a another fear when
00:40:48
you see him you know you get nervous when you've seen the police a long time
00:40:51
ago because you thought something was happening did they go out there quite a bit
00:40:59
nice yeah quite a few times yeah bringing The Runaways back and then they get punished when they get
00:41:07
back there yeah they get all kinds of different kinds of punishments you know get their heads shaved off and wear a
00:41:13
dress for a week and stuff like that you know they had to wear a dress for a week
00:41:20
that's pretty bad very stress you know yeah they go around like that no matter
00:41:24
where you go you had to use it and if you don't you get a good beating yeah what I heard like you know from
00:41:31
some of the others talking myself is uh like if they run away from school whatever they go back to the reserves
00:41:38
and the rcps will come out and pick them up and take them back and bring them back to school and like I heard that
00:41:46
they got a lot of strappings and you know just like uh like you know they get grounded and
00:41:53
stuff like that like I don't really hear too many good things about it uh once I remember
00:42:02
it's something that I did which was against the law we stole something one time we were hungry and we stole
00:42:09
something to show we got a strap in for it but I deserved it myself at a time but I I was hungry in a way yeah but not
00:42:16
like what your uncle was talking about no nothing like that another thing was uh I wanted bad
00:42:23
experience I I had was one week and my uncle took me uh my uncle from my Reserve out at Anaheim Reserve took me
00:42:33
out of school for a weekend and took me down the Kamloops for the weekend and brought me back on a Sunday night and uh
00:42:40
my my time came up and like for the weekend came up on Sunday night my uncle drove
00:42:47
me back up and dropped me off over there and and I didn't really want to go home and
00:42:52
I kind of felt pretty sad about my uncle leaving down the road and I didn't really want to go back inside the
00:42:59
dormitory back in the school residential school itself and I didn't really want to go but I I you
00:43:08
know like education was important to me back then you know that's the way my
00:43:11
grandfather explained it to me but the uh so I went back inside and then on the one side of the building you can see
00:43:18
this truck tail lights going way down the road and I was standing there in an um I was in
00:43:25
tears see my uncle go and I wanted to go home and I didn't want to stay in the
00:43:30
school I wanted to go home like I was a third 13 years old when I was there and I was in tears crying like you know like
00:43:37
I wasn't crying crying but I was in tears standing there kind of sniffling like and all of a sudden had somebody
00:43:42
touch me in the back of my shoulder and say hey this is okay what things should I be doing
00:43:49
like to gain the respect of people on the reserve like because I know I'll probably have to come back and to the
00:43:55
Reserve at times to different reserves and stuff what things can I do to help gain gain the trust and stuff
00:44:02
for them trust me and the main thing would be visiting you know visiting on reserves stopping in once in a while
00:44:09
every once in a while talking with the folks and get to know them and I know a lot of kids today they're
00:44:16
afraid of police cops just the way I brought my children up when they shouldn't be but yeah as soon as you see
00:44:22
a cop come inside you want to hide away just like we did I think somebody's going to jail right yeah I think the
00:44:29
main thing is if we're visiting and get involved in different maybe different programs that's happening on
00:44:35
reserve or Workshop now come in and make a talk on different items like at the school and stuff talk
00:44:43
to the kids right this is the pass of what happened and it's coming down the building's coming
00:44:48
down and that's the way it's going to be I guess just put it behind you and start from
00:44:55
scratch yeah for a lot of native people yeah like put that behind us we have to start something new we have started
00:45:02
something new today until tomorrow for our people [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
