Vancouver thief steals tractor-trailer and crashes, then steals police car to steal a third vehicle.
Oct. 17, 2004 - BCCTV, Vancouver
A bold car thief in the Fraser Valley stole three vehicles in one day, including a police car.
A tractor-trailer went into a ditch on Chilliwack central road last night. While the police officer who responded to the scene was talking to a witness, the driver of the truck jumped into the unlocked police car and sped off. It turns out the tractor-trailer had been stolen earlier in the day in Abbotsford.
The stolen police car was later found abandoned on the side of highway one near bridal falls. The car thief had used the police car’s lights and siren to pull over another vehicle. He then stole that car.
