Man arrested for allegedly running police blockade in B.C.
A man accused of crashing into a police car while trying to evade a blockade on Vancouver Island now faces several charges. West Shore RCMP say the crash happened at around midnight Sunday when a patrol officer in Langford saw a 2002 Chevrolet Malibu sedan with a licence plate that had been reported as stolen. Police say the driver didn't pull over when the officer tried at traffic stop, so a blockade was set up along Sooke Road in another attempt to stop the vehicle. The sedan crashed into a police cruiser at the blockade. No one was hurt and the 36-year-old driver was arrested at the scene. The suspect faces charges of resisting arrest, possession of stolen property, operating a vehicle while prohibited and dangerous operation of a vehicle, and he remains in custody until his next court date in July. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 23, 2025.
