Surrey RCMP says a man has been charged with a handful of offences after a vehicle was stolen by someone reportedly posing as a potential buyer.
On Aug 31., police received a report that a vehicle had been taken from a property near 148A Street and 54th Avenue.
Then, on Sept 1., the Surrey RCMP Gang Enforcement Team was patrolling and spotted the stolen vehicle.
Police say officers tried to pull over the vehicle but it sped off in a way that was “a risk to public safety.”
Mounties called in air support to track the vehicle from the sky, following it until the driver go out. A suspect was arrested.
Erratic driving behavior and excessive speeds through residential and commercial areas, places members of our community at risk,
