Waterloo Regional Police say two men from Toronto were arrested while a third remains on the loose following a foiled break-in in Kitchener last week.
According to a release, officers were dispatched to a business on McIntyre Place on Thursday, just before midnight, after the ongoing break-in had been reported.
Police say that the security lights were activated, causing the thieves to flee from the business but not before officers spotted their mini-van.

They attempted to pull the mini-van over but police say the thieves fled and the chase was on.
According to a release, the suspect vehicle ended up in a ditch near Fischer-Hallman and Roseville roads where police cuffed two of the three suspects in the mini-van.
A third suspect took off on foot and while police say dogs were brought in to track them down, the suspect still eluded them.
