Gov’t aims to seize several properties

BC’s latest civil forfeiture claim involves a woman accused of purchasing property in Kelowna, Vancouver and Richmond… with money linked to crime.

The province is looking to seize properties located on Burrard Street in Vancouver and Marin Crescent in Kelowna, as well as two others in Richmond…. along Gilbert Road and Granville Avenue.

Another luxury item on the list — a 2006 Bentley Continental.

They’re all currently owned by Shunting Lin… a woman also known by several other names.

Lawyers with the Civil Forfeiture Office claim the properties were acquired by unlawful means before May of last year. 

The allegations — which must still be proven in court — include money laundering, drug trafficking and illegal tobacco sales.
