Notorious gangster Jamie Bacon, who orchestrated the Surrey Six murders nearly 20 years ago, has been released from prison to reside in Edmonton, Alta.
In 2020, a court sentenced Bacon after he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder for his role in a 2007 shooting at a Surrey apartment building, which left six people dead.
Four of the victims were targeted, while two others — a building resident and a maintenance worker — were at the wrong place at the wrong time.
The murders remain the deadliest gang-related shooting in B.C. history.
The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit BC (CFSEU-BC) says Bacon was released on a peace bond under conditions, including a curfew.
“He will be monitored by Corrections Services of Canada (CSC), and we are in close contact with them to monitor any future movements,” said the CFSEU BC.
More to come.
