  • RCMP looking for erratic driver

The R-C-M-P say they are trying to find a 24-year-old man suspected of driving dangerously through Surrey’s streets during peak traffic hours.

Police say officers conducted a traffic stop on a 2017 white Range Rover on September 7th for dangerous driving.

As officers approached the vehicle it allegedly drove forward into the police vehicle, almost striking an officer, and struck multiple other civilian vehicles as it fled. 

Mounties say no one was injured, and investigators have identified the alleged driver as Haitam Maher
