Two suspects from Montreal have been arrested after they were found stealing vehicles in Clarington.
On Thursday, January 19, at about 2 am, the two suspects attended Ronald Hooper Avenue in Bowmanville, Clarington and attempted to steal two Dodge Ram pick-up trucks. The suspects left the area and returned later that morning, but members of East Division intercepted the suspects. A 17-year-old male and a 21-year-old male were arrested and taken into custody, said a police sattement.
The two were charged with Theft of Motor Vehicle Over $5,000 x2. They were both released on an Undertaking.
Upon their release, they both contravened the conditions of their Undertaking and were re-arrested and charged with Fail to Comply. They were held for a bail hearing.
This is the third incident in recent days of criminals from Quebec caught operating in Durham.
Anyone with new information about this investigation is asked to contact Det. Gordon of the East Division Criminal Investigations Bureau at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 1615.
