A man who allegedly stole a woman’s car, then crashed it into a Maple Ridge home is now in police custody.
Sgt. Brenda Gresiuk with Ridge Meadows RCMP said police were called around 11:50 p.m. Wednesday to the area near 124 Street and 224 Street. The reports said a woman was screaming that her car had been stolen.
It is unclear at this time how her car was taken.
A short time later, Gresiuk said Maple Ridge Fire Rescue reported a car had crashed into a house at 12397 Laity Street.
The alleged thief had fled, but police were able to gather information and identify a suspect who was arrested a few hours later.
Gresiuk said the suspect is very well known to police and charges of robbery and breach of probation will be recommended.
