Clearwater RCMP have taken two 22-year-old males from the Lower Mainland into custody after clocking the speed of the Porsche they were driving at 162 kilometers per hour headed south on Highway 5 at 4:37 p.m. on March 22.
Local RCMP were assisted by BC Highway Patrol and used a spike belt on the Raft River Bridge along Highway 5 to stop the vehicle.
Following the incident, Clearwater RCMP stated that using a spike belt is a strategic and safer way to stop a speeding, uncooperative vehicle without further endangering the public and thereby eliminating a pursuit.
At this time the suspects have been released without charges as of Sat. March 23.
The RCMP are requesting anyone with dash camera footage or who witnessed (witnesses can remain anonymous) this black 2018 Porsche Panamera in question to contact the Clearwater RCMP detachment at: 250-674-2237.
