A suspect in a break and enter has been taken into custody after a four-vehicle crash in Brampton.
Officers responded to a robbery in progress call at a business in the Airport Road and Queen Street area at around 6:20 a.m. and as they arrived the suspect allegedly took off in his vehicle, speeding through a red light in the process.
According to Const. Lilly Fitzpatrick police began pursuing the vehicle but aborted the chase due to safety concerns.
The vehicle was then involved in a crash near Queen Street and Torbram Road minutes later.
“The vehicle collided with a civilian vehicle, which in turn caused a chain reaction,” Fitzpatrick said. “There was a total of four vehicles involved in the collision and the suspect was taken into custody quite quickly.”
According to Fitzpatrick, two people suffered minor injuries as a result of the accident but the suspect was unharmed.
The Special Investigations Unit was notified, however they will not invoke their mandate.
The 55-year-old male suspect will be charged with break and enter, possesion of break in tools, flight from police, dangerous driving and breach of probation, according to Fitzpatrick.
