'Entering Canada illegally presents several risks and dangers, both legally and in terms of security of the person. Illegal entry into Canada is an offence that can result in arrest and criminal prosecution,' wrote Guillaume Bérubé, a spokesperson for the CBSA, in an email to National Post.

All three remain in custody. As for the other people detained by police, each will be assessed to determine whether they are eligible to make asylum claims in Canada. Most have been transferred to the CBSA's processing facility at Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle, Que., Bérubé said. Cpl. Erique Gasse said there was at least one child in the group detained — around four years old — and one of the women was pregnant. The asylum seekers, he said, had been dropped off on the U.S. side of the border and traversed forest and streams to enter into Canada. 'So, a lot of time they get lost in the forest when they arrive in Canada,' said Gasse in an interview. This group, once in Canada, met with the three alleged smugglers and were bundled into a 16-foot cube van. The RCMP said it does not know what the eventual destination was for the group. Upon discovery, Gasse said that it was incredibly hot inside the van and officers gave some water to them. 'The ending of that story is nice because they couldn't breathe. It was pretty hot,' Gasse said. Officers also gave emergency blankets to those who were wet and cold once they were outside, Gasse said. To his knowledge, none required medical attention. Although he didn't know its provenance, Gasse said Canadian authorities had received a tip about the group illegally entering Canada. For several years, Canada has been dealing with tens of thousands of illegal border crossers coming into Canada along the undefended border with the United States, often at uncontrolled crossings.

Police dog cut with knife during arrest in Surrey, authorities say
Lotto, with the Lower Mainland District Integrated Police Dog Service, is expected to make a full recovery after being injured during an arrest in Surrey. (SPS) A police dog is recovering after being injured with a knife during the arrest of two theft suspects in Surrey Monday morning, authorities say. The Surrey Police Service said a canine team with the Lower Mainland District Integrated Police Dog Service was called to an alleged theft from a vehicle in the 16900 block of 86A Avenue just before 6:30 a.m. Both suspects had fled the area before officers arrived, police said. The dog, named Lotto, was allegedly cut when he and his handler tracked down and attempted to arrest one suspect in a nearby wooded area. 'Lotto was taken to a veterinary clinic for examination and treatment of his injuries and is recovering with his handler,' the SPS said Tuesday, in a statement. The second suspect was arrested by officers nearby. Both suspects were released on undertakings while the investigation continues. 'Our Integrated Police Service Dogs play a vital role in keeping communities safe throughout the (Lower Mainland), often working in unpredictable and dangerous situations,' said Staff Sgt. Derek King, IPDS Unit Commander. 'The bond between our dogs and handlers is extraordinary, so when one is injured, it affects us all. The health and wellbeing of the dogs is a priority, and King said staff are pleased to share that Lotto is resting at home and is 'expected to make a full recovery.' Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton said the team is 'thankful' for Lotto's bravery and that his injuries aren't more serious than they could have been. 'We hope he recovers quickly and is back on the streets soon to help keep us all safe,' he said.
