Two men are in custody after two police vehicles were destroyed on Vancouver Island.
Nanaimo RCMP said officers approached what they believe was a stolen Dodge pickup truck on Roberts Road north of Ladysmith on Wednesday morning.
The pickup was driven up and over an unmarked police vehicle and kept on driving.
The driver then tried to run over a second police vehicle but the truck became lodged on the hood and windshield.
The two men in the truck then fled on foot and were quickly arrested by RCMP.
