Harinder Singh Sihota arrested in car crashes

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 18 Sep, 2023 12:46 PM
  • Harinder Singh Sihota arrested in car crashes

38-year-old Harinder Singh Sihota is in custody as police in Surrey and Delta investigate a series of violent events that included a break-in, assault and several car crashes.

Surrey R-C-M-P say it began with a break-in Saturday night at a home in northwest Surrey and the assault of several people in the house.

The suspect fled but police say a similar vehicle returned to the area a short time later, hitting several parked cars before fleeing again -- and then being involved in multiple collisions in neighbouring Delta, including one that left a person with life-threatening injuries.

The mayhem ended with the discovery of a burning vehicle that matched the description of the suspect's car -- and a search of the area turned up a man who is now charged with several offences ranging from break-and-enter to dangerous operation of a vehicle.
