Peel Regional Police say three of their cruisers boxed in a reportedly stolen vehicle during a “strategic” traffic stop in Brampton on Monday night.
Investigators said they first spotted the vehicle travelling southbound on Main Street North at Bovaird Drive at around 11:50 p.m. The strategic stop by officers happened a short distance away at Main Street North and English Street, just north of Vodden Street.
The three cruisers involved sustained minor front-bumper damage during what police referred to as a “tandem stop,” a procedure in which a vehicle is boxed in as a way to stop it.
Police said three male suspects were taken into custody, and one of them was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Investigators said the vehicle was stolen on Feb. 21 in Brampton.
