Road Rage Incident: Suspects Sought After Driver Allegedly Bear Sprayed In Burnaby

Darpan News Desk , 30 Jul, 2019 07:53 PM

    Burnaby RCMP are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the suspects of an alleged road rage and assault that occurred on Sunday, July 14th, 2019.


    At around 10 p.m., Burnaby RCMP received a report from a man who stated he had just been involved in a collision and had been bear sprayed at the intersection of Lougheed Highway and Madison Avenue in Burnaby.


    The man said he was stopped at the intersection when his vehicle was struck by an SUV, believed to be a gold Lincoln Navigator, which was further described as having a distinctive black bumper.


    When the man pulled his vehicle to the side of the highway, the SUV pulled up beside him and a suspect in the passenger seat of the vehicle produced bear spray and sprayed him inside his vehicle. The man drove around the block, as the suspect vehicle followed, reportedly ramming his vehicle repeatedly before leaving the area.


    The two suspects are described as:

    Caucasian men

    aged in their 20’s

    wearing dark clothing

     

    The suspect vehicle is described as:

    a newer model Lincoln Navigator

    gold or beige in colour

    with a distinct black bumper

    will likely have damage to the front, driver’s side area.


    The suspect vehicle is quite unique in appearance so we’re hopeful that someone will have information about this vehicle that will help further our investigation says Corporal Mike Kalanj, Media Relations Officer with Burnaby RCMP.


    Burnaby RCMP is asking anyone who witnessed this collision or may have any dashcam video of the collision to contact police at 604-646-9999. Should you wish to remain anonymous, please contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submit a tip online at www.solvecrime.ca.
