Vancouver rundown for Monday, September 8, 2025.

00:00:04.730 --> 00:00:07.809
A high -level BC gang member who escaped from

00:00:07.809 --> 00:00:10.470
the North Fraser pretrial jail three years ago

00:00:10.470 --> 00:00:13.849
has been arrested in Qatar. The Vancouver Sun

00:00:13.849 --> 00:00:16.809
reports Wolfpack gangster Robbie Alco was taken

00:00:16.809 --> 00:00:20.050
into custody on Friday. A month after he escaped,

00:00:20.129 --> 00:00:23.829
Alco was convicted in absentia of the 2012 first

00:00:23.829 --> 00:00:26.410
-degree murder of rival gangster Sandeep Durre.

00:00:27.179 --> 00:00:29.600
Despite a continuing investigation into that

00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.659
escape, no charges have ever been laid against

00:00:32.659 --> 00:00:37.520
those who helped Alka flee. Other news, homicide

00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:40.140
investigators are looking into possible gang

00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:43.439
involvement in a deadly shooting in Langley on

00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:46.679
Friday night. A man was found dead inside a taxi

00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:50.460
near 200th Street and 53rd Avenue. No arrests

00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:54.159
have been made. Gas prices have spiked again

00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:57.549
around Metro Vancouver. Many stations have prices

00:00:57.549 --> 00:01:01.030
posted at about $1 .80 a liter. Industry experts

00:01:01.030 --> 00:01:04.189
say there is no obvious sign of any supply issue,

00:01:04.390 --> 00:01:07.569
but also suggest refineries may be preparing

00:01:07.569 --> 00:01:11.370
to change their fuel mix. Stations south of the

00:01:11.370 --> 00:01:14.290
border and those in other provinces have not

00:01:14.290 --> 00:01:17.950
experienced any notable price hikes. Evacuation

00:01:17.950 --> 00:01:21.180

Creek wildfire north of Hope has dropped in size

00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:28.099
to about 3 ,000 hectares. Cooler temperatures

00:01:28.099 --> 00:01:31.180
have helped crews battle the fire, which continues

00:01:31.180 --> 00:01:33.540
to burn next to a stretch of the Coquihalla Highway

00:01:33.540 --> 00:01:37.840
between Hope and Merritt. The Coquihalla is open,

00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.099
but drivers are advised to use caution. The fire

00:01:41.099 --> 00:01:44.500
itself started on Monday, likely the result of

00:01:44.500 --> 00:01:48.379
lightning. Clouds with possible showers in the

00:01:48.379 --> 00:01:51.430
