On the evening of Monday, August 20th, a black Mercedes Benz was speeding through Surrey when it veered off of the street and into a garage.
The incident occurred at roughly 6:30 PM, when police tried to stop the vehicle for traffic violations. It was then seen travelling at high speeds through a residential neighbourhood. Subsequently, the vehicle hopped a curb and crashed into a home located at the 12700 block of 67A Avenue.
What’s more, the vehicle took down two trees on route to the residence. In addition, once the vehicle collided with the house, it started a fire.
According to police, there were a number of children and people on the street when the incident took place.

“The collision caused extensive damage to the structure and initiated a fire involving the vehicle and the structure,” notes an RCMP press release.
After the suspects crashed they fled the scene on foot. With that being said, RCMP were able to arrest one of them; however, the other remains at large.
The RCMP are withholding the names of the suspects at the moment.
As a result, Surrey RCMP are looking for a second suspect, and they are asking witnesses to come forward that witnessed the event.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 where they will remain anonymous.
