Suspect arrested after string of carjackings and collisions in Langley
LANGLEY — Langley RCMP arrested a suspect following a series of carjackings and collisions Saturday (Jul. 5). The incident began when multiple calls reported a carjacking in the 20200 Block of 64 Avenue.
A female victim told police she was assaulted as she exited her vehicle. The suspect then took her car and drove off erratically. A short distance away, the stolen vehicle was involved in a three-car collision at 200 Street and 64 Avenue.
After the crash, the suspect exited the stolen vehicle and attempted to carjack other vehicles but was unsuccessful. He then fled the area on foot. A short time later RCMP received a report of a stolen 5-ton truck from the area of 196 Street and Willowbrook Drive. Multiple 911 calls reported the same truck driving dangerously and erratically.
The crime spree ended in the 7200 Block of 200 Street, where the stolen truck collided with several parked vehicles. A Langley RCMP officer intercepted the truck, disabling it by making contact with the front wheel. The suspect was immediately arrested as he exited the vehicle.
