REAL SCOOP: Gangster facing 39 firearms charges

A Vancouver man with gang links is facing 39 firearms charges after a five-month investigation by the Vancouver Police.
Derek James Stephens, 34, appeared in Vancouver Provincial Court on the charges Tuesday afternoon.
He was arrested as part of “Project Tactic,” a VPD probe that began last summer.
“As this matter is now before the courts and subject to a publication ban, the VPD has nothing further for release at this time,” Sgt. Jason Robillard said in a news release.
