Kilometres-long Police Pursuit Ends With Spike Belt And Arrest In Langley, B.C.

The Canadian Press, 04 Jan, 2019 10:23 PM

    SURREY, B.C. — Police say they have a man in custody after a police pursuit through the Fraser Valley and into Metro Vancouver.


    Surrey RCMP say they received a report of an assault of a person by a man driving a white BMW sedan.


    An officer in Chilliwack later pulled the vehicle over and the driver stopped, but the RCMP say the vehicle reversed into a police vehicle and fled.


    Police say they chased the vehicle along Highway 1 through Chilliwack, Abbotsford and into Langley because they believed the victim of the assault was still inside the sedan.


    The Mounties say they eventually used a spike belt across the highway to stop the vehicle.


    A passenger in the car was found safe and the police say the driver remains in custody and was due to appear court on Friday.
