The suspect selected $800 worth of merchandise – making no attempt to pay – as he left the store, investigators allege.
Halton police were called — before they arrived, the suspect was approached outside by store security who told him he was under arrest for theft under $5,000.
The suspect resisted arrest, and when police got there he ran to a vehicle in the parking lot.
The male allegedly drove at officers and pedestrians in the parking lot “in a dangerous manner,” say police, before fleeing in a stolen 2017 Chevrolet Malibu.
The suspect is described as standing 5-foot-10, weighing about 145 pounds, with a fair complexion. He’s in his late 20’s with a thin build.
He was wearing a black Converse jacket with a blue hoodie underneath his jacket, blue jeans, dark shoes, and a black New York Yankees hat.
The suspect is wanted for the following offences: theft under $5,000; resist arrest; escape lawful custody; possession of stolen property; dangerous driving.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Const. Joshua Pateman at 905-825-4747 ext. 2405.
