Two people have been arrested after being followed by the RCMP helicopter through the Lower Mainland.

Coquitlam RCMP responded to the 2900-block of Silver Springs Boulevard in Coquitlam for a report of suspicious activities; one of the marked police vehicles was damaged as the suspect vehicle fled the area.

The RCMP Air Service helicopter located the vehicle on Highway 1 as it exited into Surrey, where it hit another parked police car before continuing eastbound on Highway 1 into Abbotsford. The vehicle was stopped at about 12:30 a.m. this morning when it hit a spike belt that had been deployed by the Abbotsford Police.

After a short foot pursuit two suspects were arrested near the Mt. Lehman exit of Highway 1.

No police officers were injured in either of the collisions and the vehicles sustained only minor damage.

A variety of property and driving offence charges have not yet been approved.
