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.
