Jamie Bacon Out, Edmonton on Alert

Author: The Daily News Now! April 24, 2026 Duration: 1:27

Jamie Bacon, a notorious figure in British Columbias gang scene, has been released from federal prison after serving a fraction of his eighteen-year sentence. Hes now residing in Edmonton under strict conditions, including a curfew. Bacon was involved in the Surrey Six killings in 2007, where six people were murdered, and he pleaded guilty to plotting one of those murders and counselling another shooting. His release has sparked outrage among those close to the case, with former BC solicitor general Kash Heed and Eileen Mohan, mother of one of the victims, expressing their dissatisfaction. The Bacon brothers, who ran the Red Scorpions during a brutal Lower Mainland gang war, have a history of violence, and there are concerns that old enemies might follow Jamie to Edmonton. The Edmonton police and Alberta authorities are closely monitoring Bacon, possibly with a GPS bracelet and regular check-ins. The community is on high alert, wondering if Bacon is leaving the life behind or bringing trouble with him.
