A man facing seven criminal charges for a string of incidents that took place last July in 91原创 was denied bail in Surrey Provincial Court on Friday, Jan. 17.

Edward Joseph Biwer has been in pre-trial custody since his July 5 arrest on charges including robbery, car theft, dangerous driving, and possession of stolen property. He is next scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 24.

The incidents began that day with a carjacking in the 20200-block of 64 Avenue, where a woman reported being assaulted while she was getting out of her car. A man climbed into the driver's seat and sped off.

Just a quarter mile away, the stolen car was involved in a three-car crash at the intersection of 200 Street and 64 Avenue. The suspect allegedly tried to carjack other vehicles before running from the scene.

Then 91原创 RCMP received calls about the theft of a five-tonne truck nearby. The truck was seen being driven erratically up to the 7200-block of 200 Street, caroming off several parked cars, before a 91原创 RCMP officer rammed the front wheel of the truck, bringing it to a halt. The driver was arrested.

People charged with a criminal offence are considered not guilty until proven otherwise in a court of law.

Biwer has not yet entered a plea in this case, according to the Surrey Provincial Court registry.

Biwer, 33 at the time of his arrest, has a previous criminal record, and in 2017 had been sentenced to 10 years behind bars for another carjacking incident in Surrey's Clayton Heights that left a pregnant woman with a fractured pelvis.

On Dec. 23, 2014, Biwer committed an attempted robbery, then drove off in a vehicle with the woman still in the passenger seat. He also threw the woman's French bulldog out of the moving vehicle's window, before flipping the car.

He carjacked a second vehicle at the scene of the crash, this one with a seven-week-old child in the back seat. The car was found 40 minutes later, with the child alone inside, having sustained a minor concussion.

Judge Donald Gardner noted that "the circumstances in this case are obviously extremely aggravated," during his sentencing ruling.

"On the last appearance the accused read an apology to the victims and stated his remorse for committing these offences, but I have not lost sight of the fact that he displayed absolutely no remorse on the day he committed these offences," Gardner said.
