At roughly 4:15 a.m. on Monday, a general patrol officer attempted a traffic stop on an older model pickup truck. The vehicle did not stop and took off at a high rate of speed, almost colliding with several parked vehicles. At about 4:45 p.m. that same day, another officer on general patrol in the Sherbrooke Street and Monaghan Road area spotted the same vehicle. When an attempt was made to stop, the truck fled from police at a high rate of speed, failing to stop at a stop sign.
At approximately 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, officers on general patrol spotted the vehicle again in the Aylmer Street and Brock Street area. Officers along with members of the Emergency Response Team (ERT) and Investigative Services attended the area to help assist. A short time later, the truck was located in a laneway near Sherbrooke Street and Medical Drive. Four people were taken into custody.
