The vehicle was last seen eastbound on 32 Avenue at 144 Street, after it swerved to avoid a police vehicle that was westbound on 32 Avenue.

Elgin Corners is located at the corner of 32 Avenue and 140 Street.

Nothing was taken in the break-in.

Investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 604-599-0502.
