2 officers hurt in hit and run arrest

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 23 Apr, 2024 10:05 AM

Police in North Vancouver says two officers were hurt last week as they tried to arrest a suspect in a hit-and-run.

R-C-M-P say they're now hoping for dash cam and surveillance footage to aid them in their investigation after a crash around 1 a-m on April 17 on the Dollarton Highway.

Police say witnesses saw a white Dodge Ram truck hit a tree and the driver fled, and investigators then showed up to the owner's home address.

They say a vehicle arrived while they were at the home, and a passenger ran away and resisted arrest when caught, and a neighbour then came out of his home and tackled one of the officers during the struggle.
