ABBOTSFORD — The civilian watchdog agency that probes police officer-involved incidents resulting in serious injuries or fatalities has filed a report with the Crown for consideration of charges in connection with an incident in August 2022 that left a male and female dead in Abbotsford.
According to a news release Tuesday (Apr. 16), the Independent Investigations Office says it has forwarded a report to the B.C. Prosecution Service for possible charges in an August 2022 incident involving a stolen car.
Sometime after 3 p.m. on August 7, 2022, Abbotsford PD officers located a stolen white Acura Integra around Livingstone Avenue and Maclure Road. They lost sight of the car a short time later and did not attempt to stop it.
At about 4:10 p.m. that same day, officers located a stolen white Acura Integra in the parking lot of a strip mall near Hillcrest Avenue and Commercial Street. When police attempted to stop the Acura, it fled and was followed by police officers.
