3 arrested in 'violent crime binge,' RCMP say
Chilliwack RCMP say violent crime binge took place in the 2nd week of September
RCMP in Chilliwack, B.C., have arrested and charged three people in connection with what police are calling a "violent crime binge."
In the second week of September, RCMP say two people were abducted and assaulted over the course of five days.
On Sept. 15, police were told of the abduction and assault of one person. But then it was clear a second person had also been assaulted and threatened, according to the RCMP statement released Friday.
On the morning of Sept. 17, emergency response teams executed a search warrant on a home in the 9400-block of Robson Street in Chilliwack. Officers found two people in the home and took them into custody in connection with the alleged abduction and assaults. A third person was arrested the next day.
