A man whose truck was stolen and crashed upside-down with his pregnant wife inside is sharing their story.

The angry husband, who didn’t want to be identified for his family’s safety, was in a Shoppers Drug Mart in Surrey on Tuesday when a man carjacked his truck from the parking lot.

The thief smashed into half a dozen vehicles on the Fraser Highway before eventually flipping the truck onto its roof.

“He braced himself against my pregnant wife and used his feet to push against her stomach and against her to push himself out of the vehicle,” her husband told CTV News.

“He had no concern for anyone other than himself and I want to get that out there. I don’t want anyone giving this guy any kind of sympathy whatsoever.”

His wife was seriously injured, suffering a broken hip and badly bruised hand, but the fetus is healthy.

“She was quite distraught. She thought that the baby had been hurt, she was very upset about that.”

The carjacking was just one part of a shocking crime spree that started moments before with a man waving a gun in a Surrey strip mall.

After the stolen truck was crashed and flipped over, a Good Samaritan rushed over to help. Her car was stolen next, with her seven-week-old baby in the back seat.

RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said Mounties pulled out all the stops to find the vehicle as quickly as possible.

“I saw a response from officers I’ve never seen before in 20 years of service. All officers in every area of Surrey that were not attached to an urgent file immediately went on patrol and aggressively looked for the vehicle and the baby,” Paquet said.

The newborn was found safe and unharmed a short time later.

A 24-year-old suspect who is known to police was arrested and is facing a raft of charges, including robbery with a firearm, assault with a weapon, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, and unlawful confinement.

His name won’t be released unless charges are approved. He has been remanded in custody pending his first court appearance on Dec. 27.

The RCMP says people can protect against carjackers by getting in the habit of locking their doors when they put on their seatbelts.

Motorists should also avoid stopping too close to the next car at a stop light, because it limits their ability to drive off.

Anyone who is threatened with a gun or other weapon is urged to give up their car immediately without arguing, and try to remember any identifying details about the robber.
