Three teens were taken into custody after fleeing a routine vehicle stop in the 2800-block of Murray Street in Port Moody Thursday morning.

When the vehicle took off, Air One, the RCMP's Traffic Services helicopter, followed the truck, which was travelling westbound on Clarke Street. The vehicle then pulled into the Barnet Marine Park in Burnaby before taking to the train tracks and driving eastbound.

Eventually, police in the air spotted the occupants fleeing the vehicle on foot into some nearby bushes. 

The area was quickly contained by members of the Canadian Pacific Police Service, the Port Moody Police Department along with Burnaby and Coquitlam RCMP. 

K9 units eventually tracked the suspects and all three were taken into custody. An 18-year-old male and a 17-year-old male are facing numerous charges along with a 13-year-old female from Alberta.
