On Friday, at approximately 11:30p.m., a Surrey RCMP Frontline Officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop of an erratic driver near the 13600 Block of 100th Avenue in Surrey.
The vehicle evaded police efforts to stop it, entering into an underground parkade of a nearby building where it was contained.
The two occupants of the vehicle were initially cooperative with police direction, however both later fled on foot with the officer giving chase to the driver. The passenger was able to enter and drive the police vehicle, crashing through a secure gate before departing the area.
Surrey RCMP have located and recovered the police vehicle abandoned several hundred yards away in the 9800 Block of Whalley Blvd in Surrey.
A subject believed to be involved in this matter has been arrested a short distance from scene and is being held in custody on an outstanding arrest warrant.
The second suspect remains outstanding at this time. As this matter is still under investigation, no additional information will be released at this time.
