Surrey Six mastermind Jamie Bacon released with a peace bond in place

“When there are reasonable grounds to believe that an offender whose sentence is about to expire poses a threat to public safety, CSC works with law enforcement to ensure that the public and victims are adequately informed of the post-release status of high-risk offenders,” CSC senior media adviser Esther Mailhot said in an email.

“Based on information shared by CSC, the police can apply to the courts for a “surety to keep the peace,” commonly referred to as peace bonds, which are orders that fall under Section 810 of the Criminal Code. Peace 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.”

Mailhot said a peace bond was issued for Bacon, who will be monitored by the Edmonton Police Service.

Bacon, now 40, pleaded guilty in July 2020 to conspiracy to commit murder for sending hit men to the apartment of rival Corey Lal on Oct. 19, 2007.

When the killers arrived, they found Lal, his brother Michael, friends Ryan Bartolomeo and Eddie Narong, as well as gas-fitter Ed Schellenberg. They also dragged neighbour Christopher Mohan into the penthouse suite, before killing all six men in B.C.’s deadliest gangland slaying.
