Darpan News Desk Coquitlam RCMP, 28 Feb, 2023 05:55 PM

Coquitlam RCMP is appealing to the public for assistance after a vehicle rammed an occupied and fully-marked police vehicle during an interrupted break and enter in progress.

While on routine patrol, in the early morning hours of Tuesday around 4:30am, a Coquitlam RCMP officer interrupted a break and enter in progress at the Shell Gas Station located at 2315 Pitt River Road in Port Coquitlam.

One of the male suspects was observed leaving the store with items in hand, when they observed the nearby police vehicle. The suspect dropped the items, entered an awaiting vehicle and drove directly into the responding officer’s vehicle.

The two male suspects were observed wearing dark clothing and black masks.

The suspects are believed to be driving a grey newer-model Toyota Tacoma with significant front-end damage. The vehicle was last seen driving west-bound on Pitt River Road in Port Coquitlam.

The officer was transported to hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
