Halton police found a white SUV with a female in the driver’s seat and two males standing beside it.
One male suspect fled on foot after seeing police, while the other male entered the passenger side of the SUV quickly sped away, say investigators.
Police pursued the SUV – which was allegedly stolen from Hamilton – while more officers searched the area for the male who ran away, finding him in the backyard of a home on Montego Cres.
Officers called off the SUV pursuit due to public safety concerns after the vehicle ran a red light at Fairview and Walkers Line.
Moments later, police found the stolen vehicle unoccupied after it hit a tree on Fairview and Inverary Rd.
The canine unit was brought in alongside tactical officers.
Police dog Arrow tracked the suspects to a business on Fairview St. where two youths were located and arrested out back.
All three suspects are minors whose identities are protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
They were held for bail.
A 13-year-old Hamilton girl is charged with: possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000; theft under $5,000; dangerous operation of a motor vehicle; flight while pursued by police; fail to comply with undertaking.
A 13-year-old Brantford boy is charged with: possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000; theft under $5,000; three counts of fail to comply with disposition.
