A man allegedly robbed a driver of his vehicle in Surrey, then caused a hit-and-run collision with a police cruiser in Burnaby and then shot at another vehicle in Coquitlam.
An 18-year-old Vancouver man faces robbery and firearms charges in connection with a December crime spree that played out across three Lower Mainland cities.
On Dec. 11, a man allegedly robbed a driver of his vehicle in Surrey, then caused a hit-and-run collision with a police cruiser in Burnaby and then fired a gun at another vehicle in Coquitlam. Jeevan Johal Saepan has been arrested and charged with: robbery with a restricted/prohibited firearm; unlawfully discharging a firearm; possession of a restricted/prohibited firearm; occupying a vehicle knowing a firearm is present; dangerous operation of motor vehicle; and failure to stop at a collision.
“We live in good communities and we want the public to know that their local RCMP detachments will always work together to keep our streets safe,” said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Michael McLaughlin. “No one was hurt in this incident, but we appreciate that it could have been worse. We have done a thorough and impartial investigation and want to reassure people that this is believed to be an isolated incident.
Saepan, who is well-known to police, has been released on a number of conditions and is scheduled to appear in Port Coquitlam court on March 13.
