Three men charged, weapons seized after crash with RCMP in stolen vehicle in Surrey

Three men are facing a slew of charges after crashing into an RCMP vehicle in Surrey, B.C., in a stolen car that had guns in it.

Mounties received a report of a vehicle theft at gunpoint on Sunday near 82nd Avenue and 150th Street around 3:20 p.m., and quickly found the suspect vehicle — a Dodge Charger.

When one officer tried to pull the vehicle over, police said it fled and then crashed with the RCMP cruiser before coming to a stop on 192 Street near 76th Avenue.
