Mission RCMP seeks DoorDash driver riding in car during vehicle theft
MISSION — Police are hoping to speak with a DoorDash driver who was possibly taken for a ride in his own car while it was being stolen.
Just before 7:30 p.m. on May 30, Mission RCMP went to assist a road crew near Stave Lake Street and Dewdney Trunk Road after a man allegedly tried to steal a flagging truck from them. The suspect tried to run off after getting into the truck, but police found and arrested him shortly afterwards.
Witnesses reported that he arrived in a grey sedan with a passenger– who claimed it was actually his car. The passenger left the scene before police could talk to him. RCMP later received a different report from another witness who saw the theft of a grey sedan from a DoorDash driver.
“That person reported that the delivery driver got into the passenger seat of the vehicle while it was being taken,” wrote the RCMP. “The investigation into confirming whether these two events are linked, is ongoing.”
