Duncan Arrest Causes Local Concern


'High Risk Takedown' At Warmland House

It is being reported in the Cowichan Valley Citizen that last Friday morning at about 6:30 am the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP executed what is described as a high-risk takedown when it was reported that two men with guns were at the Warmland House shelter trying to sell guns.

It is not clear from the report if one of the men was an actual resident at the Warmland shelter, or simply thought it was a good place to sell guns. According to an unnamed source the two men were is possession of a number of long guns and hand guns which they were attempting to sell at the shelter.

Another report quotes police as saying they suspected the guns were ones which were reported stolen earlier and that the potential sale was drug related.

Apparently Warmland House Manager Anne-Balding was not available for comment, nor would a staff member comment on the incident.

This incident adds more concern to local groups opposed to the low barrier, wet housing projects planned for the Nanaimo hospital area who are still opposed to the high density project planned for the hospital area.
