A suspect stole a vehicle in Oshawa Wednesday morning before getting into a crash on Highway 401, police say.
Durham Regional Police said that at around 10:15 a.m., officers responded to the Laval Drive area for a report of a stolen vehicle.
Police said the suspect stole an Acura MDX SUV from a commercial lot. A victim tried to intervene and suffered minor injuries when the suspect drove away, officers said.
The suspect was then involved in a crash with another vehicle on Highway 401, police said.
A responding officer located the scene and arrested the suspect “without incident.”
