Police vehicle struck while attempting to stop theft suspects
Sarnia police are looking for a red Ford Bronco and two men after a theft Saturday from a store in the city.
A citizen reported seeing two men enter a large retailer in the area of Quinn Drive and Lambton Mall Road around 5 pm, fill a cart with tools and leave through a rear security door, near where a vehicle was parked, police said.
Police located the Ford Bronco, which struck the bumper of a police vehicle.
“A short pursuit of the suspects was initiated but called off due to the dangerous driving of the suspects and the police concerns for public safety,” police said.
The suspects are described as two South Asian men. The vehicle had the license plate 6302NT from Brampton, but police said it doesn’t belong to that vehicle.
