DRUG ADDICTS BEHIND POLICE PURSUITS: COPS
Peace Officers Bemoan Newest Auto-Theft Trend -- 'It Needs To Stop'
LOWER MAINLAND - A frightening new auto-theft pattern has emerged with
out-of-control drug addicts now responsible for almost all police pursuits.
"That's the newest trend," said Const. Todd Sweet of the New
Westminster police. "Just about every one we pick off is high on
methamphetamine or high on crack cocaine, and they are telling us they are
stealing cars specifically to go out and do other crimes or get other cars to
pay for their drug habits."
