RCMP Find Pair Suspected In Emily Sheane's Burnaby Hit-And-Run At Creston Motel

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 15 Mar, 2016 12:41 PM
    CRESTON, B.C. — Two people have been arrested in Creston, B.C., after a hit-and-run collision that killed a young woman more than 700 kilometres away in Burnaby.
     
    RCMP received a call Sunday morning about two suspicious people who had booked into a hotel.
     
    Police say the pair were described as bloodied and claimed they had been in a single-vehicle crash when they checked in around 1:30 a.m.
     
    Officers arrested the pair at a motel after they tried to evade police.
     
    They were suspected of giving fake names, and a Mountie remembered hearing about two people who were wanted in connection with a hit-and-run last Wednesday that killed a 25-year-old woman.
     
    RCMP say a 25-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman were taken into custody and that investigators from Burnaby have travelled to Creston to speak with the suspects and examine the vehicle.
