Police are seeking two suspects following an early Wednesday carjacking near a busy intersection in Burlington, Ont.

Halton regional police say a crash between a Ford F150 pickup and a stolen Ford Explorer just after 7 a.m. at Guelph Line and Upper Middle Road was a catalyst in the incident.

“After the collision, two suspects from one of the vehicles carjacked a civilian vehicle that was at the intersection,” Const. Jeff Dillon said.

“One suspect brandished a knife taking the civilian vehicle, a silver Volkswagon Jetta.”

Dillon said one person suffered minor injuries when punched by one of the four suspects involved. Two of the suspects received minor injuries as a result of the collision.

Three Hamilton men were taken into custody at the scene, while another escaped in the Jetta and is still outstanding.

The accused, who range in age from 34 to 48, are all facing a pair of charges tied with auto theft.

Two are also facing charges related to failing to comply with probation orders.

No charges have been laid and Halton police have yet to obtain a description of the two men they are seeking, according to Dillon.
