Burnaby RCMP urging caution after four carjacking incidents

RCMP have issued a warning to the public and rideshare drivers to be cautious after four carjackings in a 5 day period in Burnaby.

The Mounties say three of the incidents between last Sunday and yesterday targeted drivers from an unregulated Chinese ridesharing app, and in two cases the suspects claimed to be police officers.

They say a weapon was brandished in all four incidents, but none of the victims were injured.

Police say investigators believe the four incidents are connected, but the motive is not yet known.
