Suspect crashed stolen vehicle and fled on foot before carjacking: Hamilton police
Hamilton police are searching for a suspect in a chaotic crash-turned-carjacking that unfolded in broad daylight Monday. Police said the brazen incident began around 5 p.m. when a red Toyota Camry struck a black Toyota Highlander near the intersection of Main Street East and Tuxedo Avenue, just off Kenilworth Avenue North. No one was injured in the minor crash. As officers arrived on scene, the driver of the Camry — which police said was stolen — fled on foot. Police said the man then ran toward the intersection of Main and Kenilworth, where — in what sounds like a scene out of a video game — he approached an idling grey Toyota Highlander, ripped open its door and pulled out an innocent driver. 'He then conducted a U-turn and fled northbound on Kenilworth Avenue North in the newly stolen vehicle,' police said in a media release. The grey Highlander was found abandoned on Tuesday in the area of Belmont and Roxborough avenues. Police are asking anyone with information or camera footage of the incident to contact investigators at 905-546-2930 . To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or . Error!
