Pressure cooker

John Nuttall and Amanda Korody came to national attention in 2013 for allegedly trying to bomb the B.C. Legislature. Their case ended up revealing one of the biggest police entrapment cases in Canadian history.

When Charlene Thompson left her home in Surrey, B.C. with her dogs on the morning of June 17, 2013, she noticed a white truck she’d never seen before.

The five-ton hauler was parked in an alley near the door of Thompson’s least-favourite neighbours, John Nuttall and Amanda Korody. Thompson hoped she was looking at a moving van.

“It was right by their place and I was like… Maybe they’re moving. Right on!” she said with a laugh in a recent interview.

Upon returning home hours later with a car full of groceries and two freshly groomed dogs, Thompson found police barricades blocking off her street.
