Vancouver rundown for Wednesday, June 19, 2024.
A family of a young woman killed in a homicide at her home on Sunday night says the attack was random.
Tory Dunn, the owner of Dunn-Rite Landscaping Services, was killed during an apparent home invasion.
On 182 A Street in Surrey, Global News is now reporting a suspect who was arrested near the scene,
was recently released from custody, and had a lengthy criminal history of violent crimes.
None of those details have been released by the RCMP or Crown.
Other news, two people are recovering from smoke inhalation and several others are displaced from three addresses
after an apartment fire in Port Coquitlam late Tuesday morning.
That fire closed Wilson Avenue near Shaughnessy Street for several hours. There's no word on the cause.
The BC government is killing its rebates for most buyers of electric vehicles.
The cap is now set at models that cost under $50,000. That's down $5,000 at a time when vehicle prices continue to go up.
Those in the auto industry say close to 75% of EVs and hybrids will not be able to qualify for a $4,000 provincial rebate.
BC Varys is about to become more pet friendly, at least on four vessels that operate on the Tawasin to Swartz Bay run.
Outdoor pet areas are being added to the upper decks of two spirit class ships, while the Coastal Celebration and Queen of New Westminster
will get their pet areas later on in the summer. The expansion follows an experiment with pet-friendly areas on four other vessels over the past year.
Here comes the sun! Wednesday will be mostly sunny with highs in the mid-twenties. Thursday and Friday will be sunny and a bit warmer.
It turns to clouds and showers for the weekend. For all the details on these Vancouver area stories, along with the links, go to vancouverundown.substack.com.
