According to police, witnesses reported seeing them get into a white Pontiac Grand Am which drove away.

“Investigators have since learned the registered owner made a report to the RCMP shortly after the incident occurred that her vehicle was allegedly taken without her consent,” RCMP Cst. Kelly Brett said.

“The investigation into this matter is on-going and the registered owner of the van could be facing possible motor vehicle act charges.”

Meanwhile, those in the car were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
