Potential for additional victims considered after Alberta stalking incident
James Alfred Finch, 51, of Wetaskiwin, Alta., and his vehicle, a 1999 silver Ford F150 with a dark topper. (Lethbridge police handout) A central Alberta man is facing charges in connection with a stalking incident in Lethbridge last month, and police are concerned there may be other victims. The victim, a 47-year-old woman, was walking in the 1000 block of Third Avenue North on the evening of Wednesday, June 25 when the incident occurred. Police say she noticed a man drive past her in a truck, saying he then circled around and returned, exited the vehicle and attempted to 'solicit' her. 'The female continued walking, and the male became angry when she would not enter his vehicle,' police said in a Thursday news release. 'As she proceeded, he resumed following her in his truck.' Fearing for her safety, the victim went inside a nearby business to ask for help. Police say the man left the area before they arrived, but he was later located and found to have outstanding warrants. James Alfred Finch, 51, of Wetaskiwin, is charged with criminal harassment and watching and besetting. He remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 18. Despite his arrest, Lethbridge police have taken the step of releasing a photo of Finch and his vehicle, a 1999 silver Ford F-150 with a dark topper. 'Police have evidence to believe this was not an isolated incident and there may be additional, unidentified victims,' police said. Anyone who has been victimized, or has information that could assist investigators, is asked to call police at 403-328-4444.

These 5 New Cars Currently Have The Biggest Discounts, According To Consumer Reports
New cars have always been pretty expensive, but you also used to at least be able to find more affordable options. Currently, though, you can't buy a new car for less than $20,000, and Republican tariffs threaten to make new cars even more expensive than they already are. That said, at least the pandemic-era days of dealers adding a big markup to every car on their lot are behind us, and there are deals to be had. Especially if you don't mind picking up a slightly older car that may not be the best in the segment anymore. If you're on the hunt for a good deal on a new car, though, you're in luck. Our friends over at Consumer Reports recently combed through actual transaction data provided by TrueCar and put together a list of the new cars that should come with the biggest discounts. Of course, not all dealers are going to have the same price, so your results could always vary, but generally speaking, you can expect a 6% discount on the Genesis G70 and Ford F-150, which really isn't bad. And yet, those two vehicles still don't currently come with big enough discounts to make it into the top five. Read on if you want to see which vehicles actually did make it onto the most recent version of this list. Read more: These Are The Cheap Cars That Consumer Reports Actually Recommends Buying Mercedes-Benz C-Class - 7% Mercedes-Benz C300 MSRP: $48,450 Average transaction price: $44,877 Expected Savings: $3,573 The latest Mercedes-Benz C-Class hasn't been the most popular compact luxury sedan in the last couple of years, potentially due to the cabin's not-so-intuitive layout. Still, it's a C-Class, and that means you get a luxurious, high-end interior and better handling than you might expect given the luxury focus. A BMW 3 Series may be a little sportier, but Consumer Reports expects both cars to offer similar reliability. Subaru Solterra - 8% 2025 Subaru Solterra Premium AWD MSRP: $38,495 Average Transaction Price: $35,430 Expected Savings: $3,065 The Subaru Solterra is an electric crossover based on the Toyota bZ4X (well, now it's just the bZ), and while it isn't the spec monster that a lot of people insist they need before they'll go electric, you may be surprised just how well it performs even without 300 miles of range. If a 150-mile Fiat 500e proved to be an excellent daily driver, a Subaru Solterra with 227 miles of range should do just fine. The dealer better be ready to make a deal, though, because the 2026 refresh is coming, and it looks much more desirable. Nissan Leaf - 8% 2025 Nissan Leaf SV Plus MSRP: $36,190 Average Transaction Price: $33,181 Expected Savings: $3,009 The Nissan Leaf is another electric car that's due to be replaced soon with a new version that offers more range and a more compelling package. Still, if you just want a car to get you around town, the Leaf will do a great job there. It isn't particularly sporty, and even the long-range version only offers 212 miles, so road trips could be a little annoying. On the other hand, as a daily driver, it's a solid option, at least depending on how much the dealer expects you to pay for it. Mercedes-Benz CLA - 9% 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLA 4Matic MSRP: $46,400 Average Transaction Price: $42,257 Expected Savings: $4,143 Mercedes-Benz doesn't have the best reputation for building the best entry-level cars, but the CLA certainly looks better than the A-Class. It also probably isn't nearly as bad as you might expect, given its lack of popularity. Still, while you can probably find better cars at MSRP, if you can get a good deal on a CLA and are into the styling, it's at least worth taking one for a test drive. Maybe they're desperate to get rid of the ones on the lot before the 2026 models start showing up. Volkswagen ID4 - 12% 2025 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro AWD MSRP: $48,995 Average Transaction Price: $43,216 Expected Savings: $5,779 Like a lot of the other cars on this list, the Volkswagen ID.4 is about to be replaced by a new version that will presumably be better and more desirable. Still, while the current car isn't the sportiest EV you could buy, it got a pretty significant update for the 2024 model year that added both more power and extra range. And while some potential buyers might balk at the Pro's sub-300-mile range, its 263-mile rating is still plenty for daily driving. Want more like this?

Charges laid in two-vehicle collision in Hamilton that seriously injured 2 people
A Hamilton Police vehicle in downtown Hamilton on Friday, May 2, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nick Iwanyshyn A 16-year-old boy has been charged in connection with a two-vehicle collision in Hamilton last month that seriously injured two people. Hamilton police said the crash occurred at the intersection of Rymal and Fletcher roads on the evening of June 22. Police said a Mazda travelling on Rymal Road was attempting to turn south onto Fletcher Road when it was struck by a Ford F-150, which was allegedly travelling at a high rate of speed. The driver, a 17-year-old, and the passenger of the Mazda, who police say were not wearing a seatbelt, were ejected as a result of the collision. They were taken to the hospital with serious, life-altering injuries. Police said one of them remains in hospital in stable condition. The driver, a 16-year-old boy, and the passenger of the Ford sustained minor injuries. Following an investigation, the 16-year-old was arrested earlier this week and charged with two counts of dangerous operation causing bodily harm. He was released on an undertaking. Police said the boy is also facing charges of stunt driving, speeding (135 km/h in a 60 km/h zone) and two counts of careless driving causing bodily harm under the Highway Traffic Act (HTA). The driver of the Mazda is also facing HTA charges of failing to properly wear a seatbelt, driving while under suspension and a G1 licence violation for driving unaccompanied by a qualified driver. Police said they've also charged the 31-year-old owner of the Mazda with permitting a novice driver to contravene licence conditions under the HTA, making a false statement and permitting operation of a vehicle without insurance under the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act.
