The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said in a statement Tuesday night that York Regional Police officers were investigating a carjacking earlier in the day.
At around 7:45 p.m., the agency said Peel Regional Police officers tried to stop the vehicle at a gas station parking near Torbram Road and Williams Parkway.
