On Monday, April 15, 2024, at approximately 11:55 a.m., police received a report that a parked truck was stolen on Saturday, April 13, 2024, at 8:00 a.m. on a parking lot on the 1900 block of McIntyre Street. The vehicle was locked, but the keys had been stolen the week prior.
At approximately 12:20 a.m., police observed the truck parked on the 1300 block of King Street, where a male appeared to be switching the license plate. The male got into the vehicle and drove away. Officers deployed a tire deflation device on the truck in the area of 8th Avenue. Members of the Aerial Support Unit observed the vehicle travelling northbound on Queen Street at high rates of speed, until it struck a tree in a yard on the 3900 block of 4th Avenue and came to a stop. Aerial Support Unit observed the male go into hiding, and shared his location. He was then arrested by ground patrol. He was found not to have sustained significant injury in the collision. He was identified and found to be in breach of a condition of release order. The male was subsequently charged for the offences.
