North Vancouver RCMP are looking for Good Samaritan who helped capture a suspect during a foot pursuit last week. On March 1, officers were called about a fraud in progress at a local car dealership where four individuals trying to purchase a vehicle fraudulently had set a time to pick it up.
Officers came to the car dealership to arrest the suspects. While they were able to arrest three suspects without incident, one of them fled from police. During the foot pursuit that followed, the officer lost sight of the suspect, but a Good Samaritan came to the officer’s help by providing them a ride to the last known location of the suspect. Officers were able to arrest that suspect at the location.
“In this instance, the Good Samaritan’s actions directly led to the arrest of a suspect who might’ve escaped otherwise,” said Cst. Mansoor Sahak of the North Vancouver RCMP. “We’d like to extended our sincere appreciation for this person’s actions and are asking them to come forward by calling us at (604)-985-1311 and quote file #23-4003.”
