A quiet west Burnaby neighbourhood was rocked and rush-hour traffic snarled Friday night after a stolen vehicle ended up in a resident’s front yard.
At approximately 2 p.m., police officers intercepted a stolen black Ford F150 truck after it was involved in a collision in the 3800 block of Nithsdale Street at Smith Street in Burnaby. No one was injured in that collision.
The truck was reported stolen in Langley in the early morning hours of Sept. 21.
“Through a coordinated effort which involved Officers from Langley RCMP, Surrey RCMP, Burnaby RCMP, New Westminster Police, Vancouver Police, and the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team, and Air 1, an adult male was taken into police custody,” said a Surrey RCMP news release.
No charges have been laid as the investigation is on-going.
The incident meant drivers who take Smith Street were diverted onto the busier route off Boundary Road, which has slowed to a crawl.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to please call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or contact Crime Stoppers if you wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca
