Sometime between the afternoon of Sunday January 18 and the following morning an unknown person took an Irish Terrier from the area of Arbutus Lane. The dog was found abandoned and uninjured in a dog crate in Stanley Park. The dog’s collar and tags were removed by the suspect, likely to hinder attempts at finding the owner.

The Bowen Island RCMP have received a few reports concerning motorists not yielding to emergency vehicles with their emergency lights activated. Police would like to remind motorists to yield to emergency vehicles including police, fire, ambulance, and tow trucks. The law requires vehicles to slow to 40 km/h when passing emergency vehicles any time the speed limit is below 80 km/h. Due to the speed limits and narrow roads on Bowen Island, common sense dictates that motorists may need to pass at below 40 km/h or in some instances stop and use the oncoming lane when safe to do so. Drivers failing to yield to emergency vehicles are subject to a $173 fine.
