A man accused of a carjacking and of crashing a stolen truck into multiple vehicles in 91Ô­´´ earlier this year remains in custody after his bail hearing was put off until January.

Edward Joseph Biwer faces eight charges, including robbery, theft, assault, and driving while disqualified, all linked to an incident on July 5.

The spree began with a carjacking, when a woman getting out of her car in the 20200 block of 64 Avenue reported a man attacked her, jumped in her vehicle, and took off.

The stolen car was involved in a three-car pileup a short distance away, at 64 and 200 Street, and the driver then allegedly tried to carjack other vehicles before fleeing on foot, 91Ô­´´ RCMP said at the time.

Police then got reports of a five-tonne truck being stolen nearby. The truck sped up 200 Street toward 72 Avenue, striking parked cars, until an RCMP officer rammed its front wheel with a cruiser to bring it to a halt. Biwer was arrested at the scene.

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

Biwer has been in custody since his July arrest, but was scheduled for a bail hearing on Dec. 10. The hearing has now been put off until Jan. 17.

Biwer has previously been sentenced to 10 years behind bars for a similar carjacking incident in Clayton Heights. In 2014, he carjacked a vehicle with a pregnant woman inside, threw her dog out of the window while in motion, then crashed the car, fracturing the woman's pelvis. He then carjacked another vehicle with a baby in the back seat – the child was later found alive after he abandoned the vehicle.

He also had previous convictions for a string of nine robberies, committed in his early 20s around 2013, that the judge sentencing him characterized as "a spree." Biwer pleaded guilty in that case and was sentenced to two years in prison plus two years probation.
