Surrey Man Arrested For Allegedly Stealing Vehicles Left To Warm Up

Darpan News Desk, 22 Dec, 2019 02:22 AM

    Surrey RCMP is reminding the public to not leave their vehicle unattended while warming them up following two back-to-back thefts in Whalley.

     

    On December 18, 2019, just after 8:00 am, police responded to a theft of vehicle, a green Ford Explorer, that had just occurred in the 13800-block of Grosvenor Road in Whalley.

     

    The vehicle had been left to ‘warm-up’ outside of a residence and was running when it was stolen. A short time later, the Ford Explorer was abandoned in a driveway of a nearby residence on Howey Rd, where a second vehicle, a white Volvo, had also been left to ‘warm-up’ and was stolen.


    A short distance away, Surrey RCMP frontline Officers located the Volvo and arrested a 35 year-old Surrey man. The man was held in custody to appear in court.


    While this incident saw both vehicles recovered and the arrest of a suspect, it serves as an important reminder to not leave your vehicle unattended when it is ‘warming-up’, says Constable Richard Wright, Surrey RCMP Media Relations Officer. The theft of a running vehicle only takes a matter of seconds.
