B.C. man deemed ‘public safety concern’ arrested on trafficking charges

ABBOTSFORD, B.C. – An Abbotsford, B.C., man labelled a public safety concern by police has been arrested on trafficking charges, just months after he was accused of attempted murder in Alberta.

Police say an emergency response team entered Manraj Singh Gill’s home last week and found heroin, methamphetamine and cocaine along with a loaded z\ipgun, or improvised firearm.

Const. Ian MacDonald says Gill is the same man charged last January in Strathmore, Alta., with the 2007 attempted murder of Dustin Cammer.

MacDonald says Gill was on bail for that charge and is still on probation for firearm and drug offences.

Gill is one of about 200 people on the Abbotsford Police Department’s public safety concern list of criminals or accused criminals.

MacDonald says police monitor people on the list as a potential threat to public safety.
