At approximately 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, officers were in the area of East Pender Street and Victoria Drive attending an unrelated call when they witnessed a seven-year-old girl attempt to cross the street mid-block between parked vehicles to reach her parents’ vehicle on the opposite side of the road. The child ran into the roadway and was struck by a vehicle travelling at approximately 20 km/h. The driver was unable to see the child before she entered the roadway. The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. The girl was transported to hospital and has been released with minor injuries. “This incident is an important reminder for pedestrians to exercise additional caution and for drivers to stay vigilant, especially during darker morning and evening commutes,” said Constable.

#VPDNews: The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) is advising the public not to disclose banking information after a staff member at a downtown organization was defrauded of $34,000 after receiving a phone call from someone posing as a bank representative. The caller, who used a spoofed phone number, appeared to have detailed information about the victim's banking accounts. During a call that lasted more than an hour, the suspect convinced the victim to provide information that allowed access to two bank accounts. The victim later discovered that the accounts had been drained of approximately $18,000 and $16,000, for a total loss of $34,000. The incident was reported to police. The VPD is reminding the public to be cautious when receiving unsolicited calls from anyone claiming to represent a financial institution. Never provide personal or banking information over the phone unless you have independently verified the caller's identity. If you receive a suspicious call, hang up and contact your bank directly using the phone number listed on your bank card or the bank’s official website.

#VPDNews: A 48-year-old man from New Mexico has been charged after allegedly entering a Vancouver home early Wednesday morning, where he was discovered by the resident. On October 21, 2026, around 3:45 a.m., a woman was asleep in a residence near Atlin Street and East 29th Avenue when she awoke to find an unknown man reportedly rummaging through her personal belongings. The woman pretended to be asleep until the man left the room, then locked her bedroom door and called the Vancouver Police Department. She reported that she lived with roommates and believed the man was still inside the home. Officers quickly responded to the residence and located the suspect on the second floor. When they attempted to speak with him, he ran into a nearby bedroom. The officers observed him attempting to jump out of the window, and he was then taken into custody. The suspect refused to identify himself. Officers located identification belonging to a resident of New Mexico and have since been able to confirm his identity. Daniel Joseph Campbell, 48, has been charged with one count of break-and-enter and one count of obstructing a peace officer. Campbell remains in custody.
