Two men were arrested and police are looking for a third suspect after a destructive escape attempt was caught on camera early Monday morning.
The incident happened at a townhouse complex near 138th Street and 100th Avenue around 1 a.m., according to Surrey RCMP.
Police had responded to the complex on an unrelated call when officers noticed a pair of suspicious vehicles parked in the roadway.

What happened next was captured on security video, which was sent to a Global News employee via social media and which forms a part of the police investigation.
As police vehicles pulled up, the two vehicles — a Honda Accord and a Chevy Colorado — can be seen trying to flee, smashing into the complex’s gate.
The Accord can be seen slamming into a brick stanchion, with its occupants then trying to escape on foot. In the video, the Colorado clips a police car but is able to plow through the gate and speed away.
