RCMP are on the hunt for two suspects in a violent crime spree that began in Port Coquitlam Tuesday afternoon.
It started with a robbery at a car dealership and escalated to a shootout on Highway 1, snarling traffic and terrifying commuters.
Coquitlam RCMP say they were called to a car dealership near Lougheed Highway and Dominion Avenue in Port Coquitlam at 3:40 p.m.
Investigators say four armed suspects stole a vehicle and fled.
“The suspects fled in the stolen vehicle before there was an exchange of gunfire with responding officers,” wrote Cpl. Alexa Hodgins in Copquitlam RCMP’s news release late Tuesday.
Hodgins says neither the suspects or responding officers were shot.
“It is unknown at this time if the outstanding suspects were injured,” wrote Hodgins.
