January 27, 2010 Top 10 Wanted Silver Medalist Car Thief Arrested by Police DogIn record time, Top 10 Wanted Car Thief, 19 year old Jamie Crosson, was arrested early this morning less than 24 hours after his mugshot was released to the media at the launch of the 2010 Auto Crime Enforcement Month. Crosson was awarded the silver medal on the ‘IMPACT Podium of Shame’ yesterday morning. Surrey RCMP responded to a call of two suspicious vehicles at about 5:00 a.m. and when a marked police car arrived on scene, Crosson fled on foot. A police dog track was initiated and the dog apprehended him a short distance away. Two stolen Honda cars were located at the original scene so new charges may be forthcoming pending the results of the investigation. Crosson was treated at Surrey Memorial Hospital for his dog bites and then promptly sent to jail. This arrest shows why police dogs are still the #1 fear of car thieves. |

February 10, 2010 Top 10 Car Thief Arrested In Another Stolen VehicleYou can strike the Bronze medalist on the IMPACT Podium of Shame off your list. Last night at about 10:30 PM the Surrey RCMP Auto Crime Team arrested 39 year old Jason Foster Chysyk and a female in what is alleged to be a stolen Ford F350 pickup truck. The pair were under surveillance for a short period and were also observed breaking into another pickup truck before they were arrested. A subsequent search also revealed that they were in possession of break-in tools so several charges are being recommended. Chysyk had recently been featured at the 2010 Auto Crime Enforcement Month media event as the bronze medalist on the IMPACT Podium of Shame for his lengthy property crime criminal record and his outstanding warrant for breaching his conditional sentence order. Six of the Top 10 Most Wanted Car Thieves have now been arrested. |

February 8, 2010 Top 10 Wanted Car Thief Turns Himself Into Delta PoliceIt would appear that 33 year old Shane Richard Trotter could no longer deal with the pressure of being on the lam and turned himself into the Delta Police last Wednesday. Trotter was wanted by North Vancouver for two counts of failing to comply with his probation order. His mugshot was released to the media by IMPACT as part of the ‘Top 10 Most Wanted Car Thief’ list for the 2010 Auto Crime Enforcement Month here in B.C. Delta Police were aware of his warrants and had a possible address for Trotter in Delta. Several visits by police to his residence and inquires with his roommate proved to be too much and he turned himself in at he North Delta Public Safety Building. Five of the 2010 Top 10 Most Wanted Car Thieves have now been arrested. |

January 28, 2010 Media and Public Help Arrest Another Top 10 Car ThiefThe media and a sharp-eyed citizen can give themselves a big pat on the back for helping the police arrest another IMPACT Top 10 Wanted Car Thief. 29 year old Justin Mathew Little was arrested at about 11:30 yesterday morning in the 15900 block of Fraser Highway in Surrey for eight outstanding warrants in Langley, Burnaby and Surrey. A citizen recognized him from his mugshot in a newspaper article that they had just read earlier that morning and called 911. When the RCMP arrived in a marked police car to arrest Little, he made no effort to avoid apprehension. Given the unprecedented exposure of the Top 10 list in the media, it is believed that he probably doesn’t watch TV, read newspapers or listen to radio. Two of the Top 10 Wanted Car Thieves have now been arrested. |

March 2, 2010 Top 10 Wanted Car Thief Relieved To Be ArrestedTop 10 Wanted Car Thief, 18 year old Kalvin Douglas McCurdy, can now be struck off your list after his arrest last Friday morning by the Surrey RCMP Auto Theft Team. McCurdy and another 17 year old juvenile man were allegedly spotted in a stolen 1995 Honda Civic in the area of 92nd Ave and 136A St in Surrey. Surveillance was conducted and the two suspects were arrested a short while later without incident. McCurdy was wanted by IMPACT for a possession of stolen property warrant stemming from a 2009 incident where he was caught in what was alleged to be another stolen vehicle. Upon arrest, McCurdy acknowledged that he knew he was on IMPACT’s Top 10 Most Wanted Car Thief list which was released to the media and stated to police that he actually was relieved that he was arrested so he wouldn’t have to be on the run any more. Seven of the Top 10 Most Wanted Car Thieves have now been arrested thanks to some diligent work by some dedicated police officers and the assistance of the public who have been phoning in with tips. “I want to commend the media, the public and the police who have worked so hard together during the 2010 Auto Crime Enforcement Month to take these wanted people off our streets” said Solicitor General Kash Heed. Two people on the Wanted List have been confirmed to have fled the province and are now residing in Ontario. 32 year old Cory Evan Ballod and 24 year old Dhilan Amos Zermeno are still wanted and can be arrested if they return to B.C. 41 year old Daniel Joseph Perrault, wanted by Vancouver for Break and Enter, Mischief and Possession of Stolen Property, is also still on the wanted list. |
