It’s still too early in the investigation to speculate on what motivated the act, police say
A police investigation is underway into a report of a wire that was deliberately placed across a bike path on the Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing.
Over the weekend, North Vancouver RCMP received a report that some sort of wire was strung across the bike path near the north end of the east side of the bridge on Friday. While no one was reported injured, somebody could have been hurt, said Const. Mansoor Sahak, spokesperson for North Vancouver RCMP.When asked to describe the wire, Sahak said that the object was not in the possession of RCMP and that no images were attached to the police file. No related incidents have been reported recently, he added.“We don’t want to jump to conclusions,” he said.
On Sunday, a Facebook user posted to A BC road cycling group, warning other members about the wire, which was said to be about four feet above the path surface. A rider in front of him was able to duck, and the wire hit that rider’s helmet, the man said.The cyclist who first reported the wire was reached for comment, but did not reply by publication time.
Anyone with information is asked to contact North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca, quoting file #2024-16096.
