GENERAL COMMENTS ON LOCAL CRIMINAL AND DRUG ACTIVITIES:

During the month of June, 22 persons were charged for
various offences under the Rarcotic Control and Food and Drug Acts,
The overall drug situation is still serious, but the increased
enforcement is obviously having sone effect, and we intend to add
One more member to the two currently engaged in drug work.

Our efforts to keep the public as much informed as
possible pertaining to drug matters through the mecia of talks
and personal contact again seems to be paying dividends because
we are enjoying excellent Co-operation from the public.

, The month of June saw an increase in burglaries, but at
the same time we were successful in getting approxinately 22
burglaries cleared on aduissions fron persons already in custody.
These burglaries took place during the fall of 1972 2nd the early
part of 1973. All involved the thefts of colcured T.V.'s and the
persons committing these burglaries were on drugs at the tine.
Recently, as a result of a joint investigation with Haney Detachment,
We were successful in apprehending two People whom we believe have
been involved in committing various other burglaries,

There were three suspected arsons investigated. One of
these involved a barn burned at Riverview by one of the patients.
Two others involved a vehicle which we believe was deliberately
set on fire, and a series of four fires set behind the Coquitlam
Shopping Center.
