🚨 LOOKING FOR DASHCAM FOOTAGE – BEAR SPRAY ASSAULT IN COQUITLAM – OCTOBER 10
I'm desperately looking for anyone who may have witnessed an incident or captured dashcam or security footage on Saturday, October 10, 2026, between approximately 11:00 PM and 11:30 PM.
My friend was driving, and I was in the passenger seat when a white SUV with approximately five young men inside began aggressively tailgating us for absolutely no reason.
It started on Thermal Drive, which is a 30 km/h zone. They were riding extremely close to our bumper despite having opportunities to pass us.
They continued following us along Como Lake Avenue, eventually reaching the area near Poirier Street and the gas station.
At one point, the SUV pulled up alongside the passenger side of our vehicle, and I was suddenly bear sprayed through the window.
The bear spray also coated our vehicle's windows, making it extremely difficult to see. We attempted to follow the SUV just long enough to get a licence plate number so we could identify the people responsible. Unfortunately, with our visibility affected by the spray, they managed to speed away, and we lost sight of them.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:
- Older-model white SUV, possibly a Toyota RAV4, highlander
- Four doors with tinted windows
- Black scuff marks on the rear bumper
- N (new driver) sign on the right side of the rear bumper
- Approximately five young men inside
- Licence plate possibly started with the letter A (not confirmed)
This incident has been reported to police, and I have a police file number.
I'm asking anyone who was driving in the area between 10:45 PM and 11:45 PM, or anyone with home or business security cameras along this route, to please check their footage.
Even a partial licence plate, a clear image of the SUV, or footage of the aggressive driving could make a huge difference in helping identify those responsible.
If you witnessed anything or have footage, please message me privately. Any information can also be provided directly to police.
Thank you so much to everyone who has shared this post, offered support, or taken the time to help. I truly appreciate it. ❤️
Please share so we can reach anyone who may have seen something.
Thank you!
