Halton Regional Police were called to the parking lot of Frontenac Public School just after 6 p.m. Tuesday for an attempted vehicle theft.

Police say that’s where a man found two strangers in his 2002 GMC pickup truck and chased after them.

Police say a witness reported seeing one of the suspects with a gun and told the truck’s owner, who stopped running after them.
