Mounties in North Vancouver would like to give credit where credit is due after a “good Samaritan” helped them catch a fraud suspect last week.
According to police, officers were called to a local car dealership on March 1st. Four people were allegedly trying to purchase a vehicle fraudulently.
At the scene, officers arrested three of the suspects without much of an issue, but the final suspect managed to get away on foot. One officer gave chase, but eventually lost the suspect.
That’s when police say a good Samaritan stepped up to give the officer a ride to the suspect’s last known location, where an arrest was made.
“In this instance, this good Samaritan’s actions directly led to the arrest of a suspect who might’ve escaped otherwise,” said Cst. Mansoor Sahak.
“We’d like to extended our sincere appreciation for this person’s actions and are asking them to come forward.”
North Vancouver RCMP are asking that person to call (604)-985-1311 and quote file #23-4003.
