Burnaby Mounties are looking for help finding two men in their 20s who allegedly bear-sprayed a driver after running into his vehicle with their SUV.
At around 10 p.m. on July 14, Burnaby RCMP received a report from a man who said he’d just been involved in a collision and had been bear sprayed at the intersection of Lougheed Highway and Madison Avenue in Burnaby.
The man said he had been stopped at the intersection when his vehicle was hit by an SUV.
When the man pulled his vehicle to the side of the highway, the SUV pulled up beside him and a suspect in the passenger seat of the vehicle produced bear spray and sprayed him inside his vehicle.
The man drove around the block, as the suspect vehicle followed, reportedly ramming his vehicle repeatedly before leaving the area.
The two suspects are described as white males in the 20s wearing dark clothing.
The suspect vehicle is described as a newer model gold or beige Lincoln Navigator with a distinct black bumper.
The vehicle will likely have damage to the front, driver’s side area.
“The suspect vehicle is quite unique in appearance, so we’re hopeful that someone will have information about this vehicle that will help further our investigation” Cpl. Mike Kalanj said in a press release.
Burnaby RCMP is asking anyone who witnessed the collision or may have dashcam video of the incident to contact police at 604-646-9999.
To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www.solvecrime.ca.
