SURREY, B.C. – Mounties in the Metro Vancouver city of Surrey, B.C., say three police cruisers have been rammed by a stolen vehicle but nobody has been hurt and a suspect is in custody.
The incident took place just before noon Sunday in an area between the town centres of Newton and Whalley.
RCMP Staff Sgt. Murray Hedderson says police were looking for the vehicle because its occupants had been observed breaking into parked automobiles in another area of the city.
He says officers found it, but as more members arrived in the area, the stolen vehicle drove off, ramming three police cars and severely damaging two of them.
Hedderson says while the passenger fled the vehicle before it stopped, the 23-year-old driver was arrested at the scene and will appear in court today to answer to a number of charges and an outstanding warrant on another matter.
He is facing charges of Dangerous Operation Motor Vehicle, Flight, Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Under $5,000, Possession of Break & Enter Tools, Breach Probation x3 and Prohibited Driving x5.
His name has not been released.
Investigators say the second suspect remains outstanding.
Police are looking for those who may have had property stolen from their vehicles as well as witnesses of the collision.
