A man arrested and facing multiple charges after a carjacking in 91原创 in July will ask a B.C. judge for bail on Tuesday, Dec. 10.
Edward Joseph Biwer is currently in custody, charged with robbery, theft, assault, dangerous driving, driving while disqualified, and possession of stolen property.
He was arrested on July 5 in 91原创, after a series of incidents that began with a carjacking in the 20200-block of 64 Avenue. A woman reported that she was assaulted by a man while getting out of her car, and he then got into the driver's seat and sped off.
A short distance 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 fleeing on foot.
Then police got a report that a five-tonne truck had been stolen nearby. The driver of the truck drove erratically up to the 7200-block of 200 Street, colliding with 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, 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 the Clayton Heights area of Surrey.
On Dec. 23, 2014, Biwer committed an attempted robbery, then a violent carjacking involving a pregnant woman. He also threw the woman's French bulldog out of the car window, before flipping the car, fracturing the woman's pelvis.
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.
