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.
Its three occupants were arrested, one of whom was apprehended by police dog services and brought to the hospital with minor injuries. A police officer was also treated for minor injuries from the collision.
“The suspect vehicle, a Dodge Charger, was determined to have been stolen in Surrey,” Surrey RCMP said in a Monday news release. “During a search of the vehicle, officers located three loaded firearms and ammunition.”
The men, all in their 20s, were charged with robbery with a firearm, disguise with intent, flight from police and possession of an unauthorized firearm.
