Oppal and Mexican officials join forces to fight gangs

Baja California’s Rommel Moreno Manjarrez and B.C.’s Wally Oppal signed a statement of intent pledging to share information to fight drug-trafficking gangs who kill to protect their turf.
The information-sharing statement could ultimately lead to B.C. justice officials working in Mexico to help catch and jail gang members, they said.
