Toronto police say two suspects have been charged after a vehicle took off from an officer conducting traffic enforcement in Scarborough, which led to a pursuit and several cars being damaged.

A Toronto police spokesperson told Global News the pursuit began in the Markham Road and Eglinton Avenue East area before 6:20 p.m. on Tuesday.

It wasn’t clear Tuesday evening why the officer attempted to pull over the vehicle or the route the vehicle took after leaving.
