Five teenagers were taken to hospital after the car they were in flipped onto its roof following a crash early Sunday in Pitt Meadows.
Police were called to investigate the single vehicle crash around 12:30 a.m.
Cpl. Alanna Dunlop said the 2000 Volkswagen Jetta struck a gate post, then flipped onto its roof on Harris Road, near Richardson Road.
The Pitt Meadows Fire Department was called to assist police and paramedics, who eventually transported all the teens to hospital via ambulance.
Police believe speed and alcohol were contributing factors in the crash.
RCMP continue to investigate the crash but said the teens' injuries are non-life threatening.
Parole violation
A man wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for violating parole was arrested early Sunday after he was spotted climbing through the window of an apartment in Pitt Meadows.
Police were called around 12:40 a.m. after the 22-year-old was seen entering a third-floor apartment on Ford Road.
The RCMP Lower Mainland District’s Emergency Response Team and Police Dog Services were called to assist Ridge Meadows RCMP and found the man inside the apartment.
Police said he had been allowed to stay at the apartment, but was arrested after officers found out he was wanted on a warrant.
He was held in custody overnight and returned to prison on Monday.
Stolen car

Phone scam
Ridge Meadows RCMP want to alert residents to a possible phone scam.
A person called police this week after receiving a call from 999-910-0103.
The caller claimed to be working for Microsoft Windows and said the resident had a malicious virus on his or her computer.
The caller wanted the person to turn on the computer, then be guided through steps that would get rid of the virus.
Police believe the caller may have other motives for the call, including getting personal information from the computer.
Police urge residents to be wary of any calls of this nature.
