A man was shot during a vehicle robbery in Abbotsford Saturday evening, according to authorities.
Abbotsford police and Coqutilam Mounties worked together to arrest the suspects in a carjacking that saw the victim shot before his car was allegedly stolen and driven across the Lower Mainland.
It happened in a strip mall on Townline Road in Abbotsford around 7 p.m. Saturday night, and APD say the victim was taken to hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound.
They haven’t provided any information on his condition.
APD then contacted the Mounties for use of their RCMP Air 1 helicopter to track the vehicle with the help of “other law enforcement partners.” They found it 50 kilometres away in Coquitlam.
