An “ecstatic” Nathan

Pachal won election to

Langley City Council Sat-

urday night.Pachal won the byelec-

tion to fi ll the seat left

vacant by the late Dave

Hall with a comfortable

margin over his nearest

rival.The initial results from

the byelection Saturday

night show Pachal won

with 740 votes.

Kiernan Hillan was sec-

ond with 557 votes.

More than 2,000 people

voted.The byelection victory

came after Pachal was

narrowly edged out of a

City council seat during

his fi rst attempt at win-

ning offi ce in the last

municipal election.

“Losing by 71 votes was

a little bit painful, to be

honest,” Pachal said.

He thought that fact

motivated his supporters

to get out and vote this

time.“People, I think, really

wanted a different per-

spective on council and

today, they clearly voted

that way,” Pachal said.

At 32, Pachal will be

the youngest member of

council.“I’m from a different

generation so hopefully

I can bring that perspec-

tive to the table.”

Second time the charm for Pachal

Police allege a con man pocketed

more than $35,000 after being issued

someone else’s bank card at a local

bank last December. Now Langley

RCMP are trying to fi nd him.

On Dec. 30, 2015, a man entered the

Langley Bank of Montreal claiming to

be the owner of a certain bank account.

He told the teller he was visiting the

area from Ontario, said police. 

He was issued a new debit card and

immediately withdrew $5,000 US dol-

lars. The card was subsequently used

at a number of different establish-

ments and more than $30,000 was

taken from the account, said police.

Langley RCMP are hoping someone can

identify the man, or has information

about him that could lead to his arrest.

Call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or,

to remain anonymous, call Crimestop-

pers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
