A Vancouver man on a stolen scooter was arrested from Highway 99.
On October 15, police received a report of a scooter driver on Highway 99 near Porteau Cove. He was crossing over yellow lines, and the scooter had no tail lights, says Squamish RCMP.
Officers located the driver and determined that the scooter was stolen out of Vancouver. Police also located some weapons and stolen bank cards from the man. The man, of no fixed address, was released from custody with a future court date.
On October 13, an officer patrolling Highway 99 noticed a motorcycle with a pillion rider, which police say is not permitted. Initially the man was arrested as he was not the owner of the motorcycle, but police later determined it was not stolen but was loaned by a relative who lives in Langley.
The driver was issued a roadside prohibition, however.
Oh I’m sure the scooter thief with weapons and stolen bank cards that was released is going to show up to his court date! Ridiculous!!
