Car-jacking and crash by Sheila Reynolds ONE MAN was arrested
by Surrey RCMP Friday afternoon following a bizarre car-jacking incident that began and ended with a crash. Police said a 26-yearold man of no fixed address was driving a vehicle stolen in Langley Aug. 2 when he came across a car accident near Fraser Highway and 182 Street. In the process of trying to go around the accident, he tried to drive over a median. His vehicle, however, got hung up on the median and he wasn’t able to drive any further. RCMP Sgt. Drew Grainger said the man then approached the accident scene and tried to steal a couple of vehicles, before getting into a Mini Cooper that had stopped at the scene. The suspect drove off at an “erratic rate of speed,” and ended up getting involved in another collision near 80 Avenue and 176 Street. A passerby flagged down firefighters,who detained the driver until police arrived to arrest him. No one was injured, said Grainger. Police are recommending multiple theft and dangerous driving charges against the driver.
SAY YES TO
Double shooting POLICE BELIEVE a double
shooting that sent two men to hospital on Friday afternoon was targeted. Surrey RCMP were called to an area in the Panorama Ridge neighbourhood just before 3 p.m. Aug. 2 after a report that two vehicles had
exchanged gunfire. Shortly after, police heard from a local hospital that two men had been admitted with what appeared to be gunshot wounds. Mounties were quickly able to link the victims in hospital with the shooting incident and said it has “all the earmarks” of a targeted shooting.
Witnesses described the two vehicles involved as a gold-coloured compact car and a darkcoloured sports car. Two men – a 19- and 21-year-old – underwent treatment. One was listed in critical condition, but is expected to survive. The second sustained less serious injuries and is expected to fully recover.
