Surrey RCMP pursuit ends with suspect in custody

RCMP in Surrey dealt with a low-speed police pursuit early Friday morning.

Police say they were called shortly before 4 a.m. about an erratic driver at 106 Avenue and 130 Street.

According to RMCP, the driver went over a spike belt and kept driving on deflated tires. Officers followed the car, a burgundy Mitsubishi Eclipse, through a field and back onto the road at a speed of around 30 kilometres per hour, police say.

RCMP say officers boxed in the car at 104 Avenue and King George Boulevard, leading to what they called a minor collision with a police vehicle.

The female driver refused to unlock the car so officers broke the driver’s side window and physically removed her from the vehicle, RCMP said.

The 54-year-old woman was then taken to hospital under the Mental Health Act.
