Teenager stabbed during altercation in Mission, B.C.
Mounties in Mission, B.C., say a teenage boy was hospitalized after being stabbed during an altercation in a residential area Friday.
The detachment says officers were called to Alder Street near 1st Avenue around 9:30 p.m. for a reported stabbing involving a group of youth. They arrived to find a 17-year-old suffering from 'an injury consistent with a sharp-edged weapon.'
Police described his injury as serious, but not life-threatening.
The next day, Mounties arrested an 18-year-old man for aggravated assault and searched an 'associated' vehicle and home.
'Mission RCMP's Serious Crimes Unit is continuing to investigate the matter, and do not believe that this was a random attack, or that members of the general public are at risk,' reads a news release issued Tuesday. 'Investigators are asking for any witnesses or any other youth who were present during the incident who have not yet spoken with police to contact Mission RCMP as soon as possible.'
The detachment also asked residents along Alder Street between 1st and 7th avenues who may have security video to call 604-826-7161.

Newmarket man agrees to terrorism peace bond over alleged youth plot to join ISIS
A Newmarket man accused of plotting to leave Canada to join ISIS while still a youth has been ordered to sign a terrorism peace bond requiring him to remain in the country and avoid extremist material on social media, where prosecutors allege he became immersed in hateful content. The now 19-year-old was arrested last December by the RCMP in connection with a terrorism investigation and was released from custody that same day on strict conditions pending the outcome of a peace bond application. His identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act because he was a teen at the onset of the investigation.

Gruesome details emerge in Barrie, Ont. double murder case
David Kyle Cheesequay (L) and William 'Blake' Robinson (R) are believed to be victims of a homicide in Barrie, Ont. The man accused in a disturbing murder case, Robert Ladouceur, 52, remains behind bars and faces a laundry list of charges. This comes after a gruesome and twisted months-long investigation at a once lively homeless encampment site near Barrie's downtown. The details in the newly released court documents paint a disturbing timeline leading up to the alleged murders. CTV News is learning more about what Ladoucer is accused of and the victims involved. Ladouceur was arrested earlier this month on weapons charges and fleeing from police. After two court appearances from the Central North Correctional Centre in Penetanguishene, he is facing charges including first- and second-degree murder, indignity to a body, and multiple weapons and drug-related offences.

(Artist Rendering/Linda Laforge) Court documents obtained by CTV News show that the alleged murder of William Robinson took place on Jan. 18, with the dismemberment of a body occurring between Jan. 18 and Feb. 8. Documents also show the second alleged murder, that of David Cheesequay, took place on July 28, with the dismemberment of a body occurring between July 28 and Aug. 2. Cheesequay, 41, was an active member of the skate community in Barrie. The manager of Souldiers Barrie, a Toronto Street skate shop, Dan Bokma, said he was a great guy to be around. 'He was, you know, nice to whoever came around. Always happy to, you know, show somebody who was new to the park, you know, how to do a trick or something like that. Definitely very approachable, very friendly. Always had a smile on his face. Generally just always fun to be around.'

That was just, like, that was, you know, beyond his catchphrase. And it was funny when he would say it, right? Like, sometimes he would say it after he did, you know, like, a trick or just did something cool,' continued Bokma. As part of the investigation, police cordoned off the Anne Street encampment just outside Barrie's downtown core nearly three weeks ago, along with locations in Huntsville and North Simcoe. All three scenes have since been released. Now, cleanup remains the focus of the dark site as heaps of trash and former residents' belongings are removed.
