Halton police are looking for two suspects wanted in connection with a carjacking in Milton, Ont.
The Halton Regional Police Service said at around 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, officers observed a stolen pickup truck that was weaving in and out of traffic in the Derry Road and Holly Avenue area.
Police said the vehicle approached the police and then fled at a high speed.
“Police were not able to stop the vehicle as it fled,” officers said in a news release.
According to police, the same vehicle was then seen “on several occasions driving erratically throughout Milton.”
Police alleged it was involved in two hit and runs and a gas drive-off and was also seen driving through a fence at Pineview Public School, and into a playground where children were playing.
Officers said no one was injured as a result of these incidents.
Police said at around 9:40 a.m., officers received a report of a carjacking at the Metro parking lot on Kennedy Circle.
Police said a white pickup truck struck a Honda CRV that was in the parking lot.
A video of the incident appears to show the victim, a woman in her 50s, seated on the driver’s side of her Honda CR-V before two men smash into the side of her vehicle. They smash the window, open the door and forcibly remove her from the car.
