A 33-year-old man from Surrey is facing several charges after what the RCMP is calling a crime spree.
Langley Mounties received several calls Friday with reports of a carjacking on 64th Avenue near 203rd Street.
Police say a woman reported being assaulted as she was getting out of her vehicle. The suspect then got into the vehicle and drove off.
The stolen vehicle was then found a few blocks away after it was involved in a collision with two other vehicles.
The suspect then tried and failed to carjack other vehicles in the area, and then ran away, police say.
Shortly afterwards, Mounties received a report of a 5-tonne truck being stolen from 196th Street near Willowbrook Drive.
After crashing the truck into several parked vehicles, the chase finally came to an end.
“The series of offences came to a halt when a Langley RCMP officer used his patrol car to intercept the truck by making contact with the front wheel of the stolen truck, disabling it from being operated further,” police said in a news release.
“The driver was immediately arrested as he exited the stolen truck.”
Edward Joseph Biwer has been charged with robbery, theft of a motor vehicle, mischief, and assault, among others.
Anyone with dash cam footage or surveillance video of the incident is ask to call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 and quote file 2024-21188.
