The point is... you can't open a paper or turn on the news these days without hearing a story about a crime of some kind for which a Singh has been arrested or is being sought by Inspector Knacker. Of course they aren't namede in the lickspittle media but if you follow the story to the police blotter, you'll find one Singh after another. Scroll down to our previous post for an example.
From British Columbia we move east to Alberta -- Canada's version of Texas -- where a 29-year-old Sikh drug dealer already facing seven weapons and other offences following a traffic stop in Brampton ON two months ago has been hit with more charges.
Peel Regional Police (the "police service" with the unenviable task of dealing with crime in Sikh-majority Brampton and Mississauga) said Friday that their ongoing investigations led to the seizure of two more illegal firearms.
Police said officers investigated a vehicle in the area of Cedarbrook Rd. and Edgewater Ct. on 10 August. 10 at approximately 0220 and seized a loaded illegal handgun. Three individuals were arrested and charged with multiple firearm-related offences.
Then, on 13 August, at about 2230, investigators went to the residence of one of the accused from the original incident and located two additional firearms -- a 9 mm handgun and a sawed-off rifle as well as several rounds of ammunition.
Navjot Singh (pictured), of Innisfail AB has been charged with careless storage of a firearm, two counts each of possession of a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized and possession of a prohibited firearm with ammunition, careless storage of ammunition, and failure to comply with an undertaking.
But wait (as Vince Offer used to say), there's more. The accused was also charged following the traffic stop with unauthorized possession of a firearm, knowledge of unauthorized possession of firearm, occupant of motor vehicle knowing there was firearm, possession of a loaded prohibited or restricted firearm, tampering with serial number of firearm, obstruct peace officer, and failure to comply with an undertaking.
And Mr Singh has form. Way back in 2024, the Alberta Court of Appeal upheld a judge's guilty verdict against him in a case involving a $4-million narcotics seizure, which required the convicted drug dealer to surrender to authorities. What he was doing on the loose in Alberta is anyone's guess. He is now expected to resume serving the original 10-year sentence handed him in 2022.
We'll try to find something else to write about tomorrow. Promise.
