Three suspects from Quebec have been arrested after attempting to flee from police.
On Wednesday, May 31, at about 10:30 am, members of Central West Division were proactively patrolling in the area of Consumers Drive and Hopkins Street, in Whitby when they came across a suspicious vehicle.
A traffic stop was attempted but the vehicle took off at a high rate of speed, and travelled south onto a dead-end street. The suspect vehicle made contact with a cruiser and came to a stop. Three suspects exited the vehicle and fled on foot. A short foot pursuit was initiated and the suspects were taken into custody, said a police statement.
The suspects are aged between 19 and 20. All were charged and held for bail hearings. Names and further details are available at www.drps.ca.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Central West Criminal Investigations Bureau at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 1836.
