“Horrific” armed and coordinated attack on Coastal GasLink crew still unsolved by RCMP after 12 months
Despite a $100,000 reward and one year of investigation by the RCMP, there have been no arrests and little progress in the hunt for a gang of 20 masked and armed vandals who destroyed a Coastal GasLink work camp on the night of February 17, 2022.
Video footage from the Coastal GasLink camp shows people dressed in white coveralls, with their faces covered, storming the property. The individuals can be seen swinging axes at vehicles and spray painting windows in the video. "The level of fear that these workers experienced was horrific. You can hear it in the voices of the workers and the crews who were on that site that evening," said Gardner.
"People were threatened, lives were at risk, and more than $20 million worth of equipment was completely destroyed," he says. While hereditary chiefs from all five Wet’suwet’en clans have stated their opposition to the project, five of the nation’s six elected chiefs have signed benefit agreements with the pipeline project. In a statement, the hereditary chiefs disavowed any participation in the attack.
