Woman, 29, charged with murder in Campbell River stabbing
A woman is dead after a stabbing in Campbell River last Thanksgiving weekend.
RCMP were called to the 1300-block Dogwood Street for a report of a possible stabbing shortly before 2 a.m. on Oct. 12.
Officers found a 30-year-old woman bleeding from a life-threatening stab wound. Despite the efforts of paramedics, police and first responders, the woman died of her injuries.
Police said a 29-year-old woman had tried to flee the scene earlier, but was arrested by an officer who was on patrol nearby and was able to get to the area a minute after the call came in.
Pauline Bruce, 29, has been charged with second-degree murder.
Several witnesses were in the area, but some had left before talking to police. Campbell River RCMP is asking anyone who was there and have not yet spoken to police to contact them at 250-286-6221.
Senior’s phone allegedly thrown into traffic in road rage incident: West Van police
Police are investigating a road rage incident involving a senior at a busy West Vancouver intersection during the Friday afternoon rush hour.
The incident occurred just after 5 p.m. in the southbound lanes of Taylor Way and Marine Drive, said West Vancouver police in a news release.
A 74-year-old woman in a 2010 grey Honda CR-V was in the left-hand lane when a grey Chevy Silverado pickup truck coming from the east turned into the lane and allegedly hit her vehicle.
Both drivers got out of their vehicles. The other driver, a man believed to be in his mid-50’s, allegedly began yelling at the woman, grabbed her cellphone from her hand and held it over his head while appearing to taunt her, “asking her if she wanted it back.”
The man then allegedly threw the phone across several lanes of traffic before going back to his truck and driving away.
Investigators want to talk to the driver of the Chevy, who is described as six feet tall with a medium build, grey hair and short grey beard. He was driving an older model, early 2000s Chevy Silverado pickup truck with damage to the passenger side.
Police also asked anyone with dashcam footage or who saw the incident to contact them at 604-925-7300.
