Man gets 13 years, six months for B.C. attacks

VANCOUVER – A man who targeted 15 families with firebomings and shootings because he thought they had links to a training centre for emergency responders in British Columbia has been sentenced to 13 years and six months in prison. Forty-three-year-old Vincent Cheung of Langley pleaded guilty last week to 18 of 23 charges stemming from attacks in 2011 and 2012. The Crown had asked for a 15-year prison sentence, while Cheung’s lawyer recommended a 10-year-term, saying that his client was a drug addict at the time of the attacks.
