After 24 Pellet Gun Attacks, Abbotsford Police Arrest One, Search For Second Suspect

The Canadian Press, 06 Aug, 2015 12:46 PM
    ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — A 21-year-old man is under arrest in connection with a series of drive-by pellet gun attacks in Abbotsford, B.C.
     
    Officers in the Fraser Valley city say they are now looking for at least one other person following 15 shootings between July 18 and 27.
     
    The search for the second person comes as investigators say recently obtained video footage clearly shows a driver and a man with the pellet gun in the suspect vehicle.
     
    The man holding the gun is believed to be between 18 and 25-years-old, but police haven't said if the 21-year-old in custody is suspected of being the driver or the shooter. 
     
     
    In each case, pellets were fired at random from a passing dark-coloured sedan, injuring four women, five men and damaging several vehicles and homes.
     
    Police credit the observant cyclist with helping crack the case, by providing video of a hand sticking out the window of a 2006 dark blue Chrysler Sebring.
     
    Police also say extensive media and social media coverage of the incidents turned up information that assisted with the first arrest and they are appealing for any further details that could help them track the second man.
