The Red Scorpions gangster behind the 2007 Surrey Six killings has been released from prison on a peace bond.<\/p>\n
Jamie Bacon, a notorious gangland figure, finished his federal prison sentence and has been released five years and seven months \u2014 after credit for pre-trial in-custody time served was removed from his 18-year sentence \u2014 after he pleaded guilty in 2020 to one count of conspiracy to murder Corey Lal in the Surrey Six case.<\/p>\n
Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) media relations Sgt. Sarbjit Sangha confirmed Wednesday (April 22) that Bacon was released on a peace bond under section 810 of the Criminal Code.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe will be monitored by provincial corrections (in Alberta) as well as the local police in Edmonton,\u201d Sangha noted in an emailed statement.<\/p>\n
Bacon is subject to a curfew and unspecified conditions under the bond.<\/p>\n
Correctional Service Canada said Bacon is not under CSC jurisdiction as he has served his time and noted peace bonds are \u201cprovincial in nature.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPeace bonds are imposed by the court and allow police to track high-risk offenders who are released into the community at the end of their sentence,\u201d a CSC email stated.<\/p>\n
The 2007 Surrey Six murders unfolded at Balmoral highrise in Surrey, where four of the victims were targeted and two innocent bystanders were killed.<\/p>\n
Bacon was sentenced to 18 years in prison in September of 2020 after pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to murder Corey Lal. He also pleaded guilty to one count of counselling to commit murder in a separate case in December 2008; he was sentenced to 10 years in that case, to be served concurrently with the Surrey Six prison term.<\/p>\n
Lal\u2019s brother Michael, Ryan Bartolomeo and Edward Narong were the four targeted victims in the notorious Surrey Six case; Christopher Mohan, 22, and Ed Schellenberg, 55, were innocent bystanders who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jamie Bacon, B.C. gangster behind Surrey Six killings, released from prison Published 2:13 pm Wednesday, April 22, 2026…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":622001,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,87674],"class_list":["post-622000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-surrey","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-surrey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=622000"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622000\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/622001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=622000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=622000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=622000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
