Police seize over $1M in items, dozens of guns in southern Ontario raids
Police in Barrie, Ont., and Simcoe County say they recovered over $1 million in property including several dozen guns as part of a recent fraud investigation. They say a months-long investigation into a man and woman who were passing bad cheques and bank drafts led them to raid a number of properties located in Toronto, King City, Havelock and Springwater Township. As a result of the searches, police say officers seized personal watercraft, a pontoon boat, construction equipment and high-end watches which all came through use of fraudulent cheques and bank drafts. Officers also seized three motor vehicles, a large amount of Canadian currency and 45 firearms, 35 of which came from a home in Toronto.

‘Do not give in to him': California Gov. Newsom to residents amid ICE raids
In a scathing address on Tuesday evening, California Gov. Gavin Newsom encouraged state residents and all Americans not to give in to U.S. President Donald Trump's ongoing efforts to detain and deport immigrants. His remarks were prompted by citywide raids that have led to demonstrations across Los Angeles and the deployment of military personnel. Newsom accused Trump of brazenly abusing his power when he sent 4,000 members of the National Guard, and later 700 Marines, to Los Angeles on Monday — without the consent of state officials — to escalate what were non-violent protests into federally endorsed civilian clashes with the military. 'What then ensued was the use of tear gas. Flash-bang grenades. Rubber bullets,' Newsom said. 'Federal agents, detaining people and undermining their due process rights.' He said their presence prompted an uptick in violence, which he condemned. Story continues below advertisement [FULL ADDRESS] Governor Newsom addresses Californians in response to President Trump's assault on democracy and the President's illegal militarization of Los Angeles. — Governor Gavin Newsom (@CAgovernor) June 11, 2025 'If you incite violence or destroy our communities, you are going to be held accountable. That kind of criminal behaviour will not be tolerated. Full stop,' he said, adding that 370 people have already been arrested.

Some videos show reporters being injured by rubber bullets in the field. Newsom reiterated that people should continue to exercise their First Amendment right to freedom of assembly in a peaceful manner and argued that Trump's unnecessary use of force undermined California's ability to handle social upheaval. 'Like many states, California is no stranger to this sort of civil unrest. We manage it regularly … and with our own law enforcement,' he said. Story continues below advertisement 'I know many of you are feeling deep anxiety, stress and fear. But I want you to know that you are the antidote to that fear and anxiety. What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty. Your silence. To be complicit in this moment. Do not give in to him.' Newsom, earlier on Tuesday, responded to Trump's calls to have him detained, telling the president in a television interview, 'Get it over with, arrest me,' before demanding that his administration stop targeting vulnerable migrant populations. The Trump administration has arrested and charged several lawmakers and political figures in recent months. Ras Baraka, the Democratic mayor of Newark, N.J., was arrested by ICE during a visit to a federal immigration detention centre that he says is violating safety protocols. Story continues below advertisement Similarly, Democratic U.S. House member LaMonica McIver was charged after visiting an ICE detention facility in New Jersey. In April, a sitting Wisconsin judge, Hannah Dugan, was also taken into custody and charged with crimes that allegedly obstructed the detention of an undocumented immigrant, according to the FBI. Newsom ended his speech with a quote from Justice Brandeis, who served as an associate justice on the Supreme Court from 1916 to 1939, and famously said, 'In a democracy, the most important office is not president, it's certainly not governor. The most important office is office of citizen.' Trump has not responded to Newsom's speech, though he has doubled down on his decision to send in the military, writing on X on Wednesday that if it weren't for the troops, Los Angeles would be burning to the ground.

Cops rush into burning Surrey home to rescue seniors, arson suspected
A pair of Surrey police officers had to break their way into a flaming home to save a pair of senior residents from what investigators believe was a suspicious fire early Wednesday morning. The officers arrived at the home on 135 Street and 64 Avenue around 1:45 a.m. to find two vehicles fully engulfed and the front of the home burning 'vigorously,' Surrey Police Service Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton told Global News. 2:04 Suspicious fire at South Surrey restaurant After evacuating six residents from a basement suite, officers learned there were still two seniors upstairs. Story continues below advertisement Houghton said they had to smash their way through a glass panel on the back door and crawl in to gain entry.

Sign up for breaking National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy 'They described seeing flames through the front of the house, that orange glow, and you could hear the fire, and literally ran through the home looking room to room.' Houghton said Surrey Fire Service told them that a minute later, the 'home would have been fully engulfed.' Police were able to escort one resident out but had to carry the other to safety. Eight people were evacuated from the home in total. All of them were treated for smoke inhalation, but no one suffered serious injuries. 2:12 Fire breaks out at Guildford strip mall in Surrey Houghton said police are investigating the fire as a potential targeted arson. Story continues below advertisement He said two people, possibly men, were seen out front of the house shortly before the vehicles burst into flame. Two dark sedans were also seen leaving the area around the time of the fire. Investigators want to speak with anyone who witnessed the fire or has video shot in the area around 1:45 a.m. In the meantime, Houghton is praising the officers for their bravery. 'Had the fire been hotter and bigger, officers could be seriously injured or worse,' he said. 'I can tell you it is harrowing … as soon as you can find out there are potentially people inside, your instincts kick in. There is really no training they give us, we have no fire protective gear, you have to rush in, and the protection of life becomes the primary goal.'
