Hamilton Police have identified a suspect in an old carjacking case.

It took place at the Husky Gas Bar on Limeridge Road on Oct. 18, 2017. Police say three masked men, one armed with a gun, got out of an SUV and demanded the keys from the driver of a vehicle, who was putting air in his tires.

The stolen vehicle ended up being involved in a hit and run with an OPP cruiser when it was driving the wrong way on Highway 7 in Kitchener.

The OPP officer was not injured and the vehicle was later recovered in the Waterloo Region.

That’s where investigators have identified a 24-year-old male suspect, who is currently in custody in another jurisdiction.
