Waterloo Regional Police are hunting alleged car thieves who reportedly pulled a gun on others in Kitchener on Sunday.

Police say the suspects were spotted stealing a vehicle on Reistview Street before the victims gave chase in another vehicle and confronted them on Donnenwerth Drive.

When confronted, one of the two suspects pulled a gun which caused the victims to scatter.

One suspect took off on foot while the other was last seen headed towards Highway 401 in a blue Chevy Cruze, which had been reported stolen earlier.

Police are describing one of the suspects as white, in his late teens to early 20s, with black curly hair.
