Late Thursday afternoon, around 3:40 p.m., Burnaby RCMP frontline officers responded to a hit and run that had occurred on the street in front of Montecito Elementary in Burnaby.

The suspect vehicle, a silver coloured sedan, was reported to have struck a moving school bus belonging to a nearby Catholic school, with children on board.

Fortunately, none of the children or the driver were injured.

The Burnaby RCMP will be recommending Motor Vehicle Act charges as well as criminal, impaired driving, drug trafficking and weapon possession charges.

A large quantity of cash, illicit drugs and several weapons have since been seized as a result of the investigation.
