Police Fight Crime in British Columbia
Introduction
Police in British Columbia say there are fewer crimes of extortion. This is when bad people ask for money by using threats. It is still a big problem for safety.
Main Body
The police have a special team to stop these crimes. They catch more bad people now because the community helps them. The police are looking at 36 big cases. Some criminals move to other provinces or countries, so police work together to stop them. Some criminals come from other countries. The border police found many people who broke the law. They sent many of these people back to their home countries. Bad groups often try to find new people or young people to join their crimes. In the city of Surrey, police watch the streets carefully. In January, there were 44 threats. In April, there were only 20. But there were still 98 cases in total. Some people used guns. The government now has a group to help families and talk to the community.
Conclusion
Crime is going down, but police must stay careful. Bad people still try to find new members and move around.
