Three people are in custody in Delta this morning after a dangerous high-speed chase that started in Surrey.
According to police, a citizen notified them that he had confronted a suspicious parked car with several people in it in his neighbourhood in Surrey at about 7:50 p.m. last night. The car with the three suspects fled the area after firing off several shots at the man’s vehicle. The man then decided to pursue the three suspects in their car.
The two vehicles raced down Highway 99 northbound before exiting in Delta onto River Road. While on River Road the car lost control and crashed into a hydro pole in the 8000-block.
The citizen continued past the crash and stayed on the scene and waited for police to arrive.
All three male suspects, who are well-known to police, were arrested and taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police said a firearm was found at the scene of the crash.
Surrey RCMP’s General Investigation Unit has taken over the case and is investigating. One of the suspects, 25-year-old Surrey resident Cory Lee Myers, has a Canada-wide warrant for breaching his probation and a local warrant for break and enter.
Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the Delta Police.
