An arrest warrant has been issued for a Brampton man after a carjacking in Newmarket earlier this week, police say.
York Regional Police said officers responded to a veterinarian clinic in the area of Eagle Street West and Davis Drive around 7 p.m. on Monday after a 78-year-old woman was carjacked.
Police said the victim had parked her 2015 silver Nissan Rogue in the parking lot when she was approached by a suspect who pushed her to the ground, took her keys, and fled in the vehicle. The victim suffered minor injuries.
The woman’s shih-poo dog named Bobby was in the front seat, police added.
