According to the news release, at approximately 9:40 am on February 21, police received a report of a carjacking in the Metro parking lot located at 1050 Kennedy Circle in Milton.
Two male suspects exited the truck they were driving and smashed the driver’s side window of the Honda CRV. The suspects then forcibly removed a female who was seated in the driver’s seat and threw her to the ground.
The suspects later fled the parking lot with the CRV. The victim was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Investigators say they are aware of a video of the incident that has been shared online (see below; click on the image to play).
The stolen Honda CRV was later found by police in the area of Kennedy Road South in Brampton, unoccupied, just before 3:00 pm.
Per the news release, earlier that morning, around 9:30 am HRPS officers spotted a white pickup truck weaving in and out of traffic near Derry Road and Holly Avenue in Milton. The vehicle then approached the police cruiser before speeding away at high speed, making it impossible for the police to stop it.
The police say the same truck was observed driving recklessly throughout Milton and was involved in two hit and run collisions, as well as a gas drive-off at the Petro Canada on Main Street East, around 9:35 am. The truck was also seen crashing through a fence at Pineview Public School and onto a playground where children were playing, but fortunately, no one was hurt.
The white pickup truck also collided with a Honda CRV that was parked in the Metro parking lot.
HRPS says the white pickup truck (2014 Ford F250) had been reported stolen from Peel Region on January 7, 2023.
The suspects are described as follows:
Suspect 1: male, white, approximately 6’2” tall, thin build, wearing a grey sweater
Suspect 2: male, white, dark hair, in his late 20’s, clean shaven, wearing a dark coloured hooded sweater
“This is a shocking and violent crime that put the lives of many Milton residents at risk. We are dedicating all available resources and will relentlessly pursue those responsible and hold them accountable,” said 1 District Superintendent Dave Stewart in a news release.
