Investigators later determined that the Volkswagen was stolen from a restaurant on Gordon Street Sunday night.

Guelph police were informed by police in another jurisdiction that the BMW being sought was involved in a crash after a pursuit Monday night.

They say the BMW had stolen licence plates attached and the driver was taken into custody.
