According to police, the charges stem from an incident on December 11 of last year, in which the suspect allegedly carjacked a vehicle, then caused a hit-and-run collision with a police vehicle in Burnaby, and then shot at another vehicle while driving in Coquitlam.

On Wednesday, police said that a cooperative investigation involving Coquitlam RCMP, Surrey RCMP, and Burnaby RCMP has led to a series of charges against the suspect, 18-year-old Jeevan Johal Saepan, who police said is well-known to them.

“No one was hurt in this incident, but we appreciate that it could have been worse,” said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Michael McLaughlin. “We have done a thorough and impartial investigation and want to reassure people that this is believed to be an isolated incident.”

Saepan is facing a number if charges as a result of the incident, which include:

Robbery using a restricted/prohibited firearm,
Unlawfully discharging a firearm,
Possession of a restricted/prohibited firearm,
Occupying a vehicle knowing a firearm is present,
Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle,
Failure to stop at a collision.

Saepan has been released on a number of conditions and will next appear in Port Coquitlam court on March 13, 2019.
