  • Dangerous driver arrested in Coquitlam

R-C-M-P are crediting their Air Services team with helping in the arrest of a dangerous driver in Coquitlam.

The Mounties say a motorcyclist was seen speeding and weaving in and out of traffic along Coast Meridian Road near David Avenue on May 31st.

They say the R-C-M-P Air Services helicopter was dispatched to locate the suspect from a safe distance in the interest of public safety and to reduce police response time.

Corporal Alexa Hodgins says police were able to locate the motorcycle through co-ordinated effort between the helicopter and the Coquitlam R-C-M-P, and the driver was arrested.
