Charges have been laid in a pair of alleged bank robberies on Vancouver’s Commercial Drive on Saturday, which ended in a multi vehicle collision on Clark Drive.
Vancouver police (VPD) say 23-year-old Jordan Anthony Doddridge has been charged with two counts of robbery, and that charges have also been recommended against his female passenger.

Police had initially said that four civilians suffered minor injuries in the crash, but now say one of those people, a woman in her 50s visiting from Brazil, suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries.
Police were able to box the suspect vehicle in, and made two arrests.
The VPD says investigators are still piecing together exactly what happened, and that more charges may be recommended.
Doddridge remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 7.
