VICTORIA A man has been arrested after a Victoria Harbour Ferry was stolen, prompting an early morning marine pursuit. Police say the incident began around 3 a.m. Tuesday after officers were called to the 400-block of Swift Street for reports of a stolen Harbour Ferry water taxi. VicPD officers boarded another vessel, piloted by a Harbour Ferry maintenance supervisor, and pursued the stolen water taxi. Police say the stolen vessel was travelling up the Gorge Waterway, then abruptly changed directions towards the Inner Harbour in what appeared to be an attempt to flee. A Canadian Coast Guard Vessel, the Cape St. James, joined the chase and helped to resolve the incident with VicPD officers aboard.

YELLOWKNIFE, NT, Dec. 11, 2020 /CNW/ - The Canadian Coast Guard completed its 2020 Arctic operational season on December 1, 2020. A total of eight icebreakers deployed to the Arctic this year, with the Canadian Coast Guard Ship (CCGS) Henry Larsen being the last to leave northern waters.
This season was unlike any other, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Coast Guard worked closely with Inuit, First Nations, and Métis organizations and governments, territorial governments, communities, industry, and other partners to make decisions based on the best guidance available from federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal health authorities. Our Coast Guard maintained normal operational levels of service during the COVID-19 pandemic, while National Standard Operating Procedures were diligently followed to prevent the spread of the virus and there have been no cases of COVID-19 to date on any Coast Guard vessel across the country, making this an exceptional season.
