Police say one person was found with a gunshot wound inside a vehicle that fled from officers and later crashed in Scarborough this morning.
According to investigators, police attempted to stop a vehicle in the area of Bellamy Road and Lawrence Avenue at around 4:43 a.m. when the suspects fled.
Police did not engage in a pursuit of the car but continued to follow the vehicle.
At around 7:45 a.m., that same vehicle was involved in a collision near Midland and McNicoll avenues.
Police said one person was found with a gunshot wound inside the vehicle and three suspects were taken into custody. A firearm was also recovered, police said. According to paramedics, four victims were taken to hospital, including one with serious injuries and 3 others with minor injuries.
Police sources tell CP24 that the investigation initially began as a possible abduction call.
It is unclear what charges the suspects who were arrested will be facing.
