On July 5, 2024 the Langley RCMP received multiple calls for a report of a carjacking that occurred in the area of 20200 Block of 64 Avenue.
At approximately 1:10pm, a female victim reported that the suspect assaulted her as she was exiting her vehicle. The suspect then got into the driver’s seat of her vehicle and drove off in an erratic manner. A short distance away this stolen vehicle was involved in a three-vehicle collision at 200 Street and 64 Avenue.
After this collision, the suspect exited the stolen vehicle and attempted to carjack other vehicles in the area but was unsuccessful. The suspect then fled the area on foot. Shortly thereafter, the Langley RCMP received a report that a 5-tonne truck had just been stolen from the area of 196 Street and Willowbrook Drive. Langley RCMP continued to receive several 911 calls to report the same stolen 5-tonne truck being driven in a dangerous and erratic manner.
After the stolen truck collided with several parked vehicles in the 7200 Block of 200 Street, the series of offences came to a halt when a Langley RCMP officer used his patrol car to intercept the truck by making contact with the front wheel of the stolen truck, disabling it from being operated further. The driver was immediately arrested as he exited the stolen truck.
