Thanks to real-time tracking, the vehicle was initially located in Logan Lake and was observed travelling through multiple jurisdictions. RCMP detachments in Logan Lake, Merritt, Hope, and Princeton were engaged as the vehicle moved rapidly along Highway 5 before heading Eastbound on Highway 3, allegedly reaching speeds of up to 160 km/h and driving dangerously.

Air 1 was deployed, and Police Dog Services were called to assist. Hope RCMP spotted the vehicle near Manning Park and Air 1 maintained visual contact as it headed toward Princeton. The pursuit concluded at a Canco gas station, where officers successfully contained the vehicle and arrested all five occupants.

“This incident is a strong example of how coordinated policing across jurisdictions can lead to safe and effective outcomes,” said Superintendent Darren Pankratz, Officer in Charge of the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment. “Thanks to the timely and effective assistance by multiple RCMP detachments and specialized units, we were able to bring a high-risk and challenging situation to a safe conclusion.”
