Three people are in custody after a “heavy police presence” in Mississauga that followed an alleged robbery on Monday.
In a tweet just after 4 p.m. on Monday, Peel Regional Police said officers were in the area of Mississauga Road and Burnhamthorpe Road for an “ongoing investigation.”
Police said three people were in custody.
According to police, there was a “heavy police presence” in the area.
In a press release shared Tuesday, police said the investigation involved the alleged theft of $5,000 worth of property from a business.
Police said three men went into a business in the area of Wolfedale Road and Dundas Street in Mississauga and allegedly stole from it, before being involved in “a physical altercation” with an employee.
As a nearby officer arrived, the three men fled the scene in a car that police later discovered was stolen.
The vehicle was found in the area of Erin Mills Parkway and Burnhathorpe Road West on Monday and all three men were arrested, police said.
