Suspects drive into police cruiser, multiple vehicles after Nobleton, Ont. break-in
Police north of Toronto say two suspects allegedly drove into a police cruiser and several other vehicles while trying to flee a daylight break-and-enter at a Nobleton, Ont. house on Tuesday.
It happened at 4 p.m. at a residence near Paradise Valley and Fairmont Ride trails, York Regional Police said in a news release issued Thursday.
Officers responded to the area for a break-and-enter in progress call at that time, and when they arrived on scene, police said the two suspects attempted to flee.
Police said the suspects then drove their vehicle into a police cruiser before striking “multiple” civilian vehicles. It’s unclear if any injuries were sustained.
The suspects allegedly ditched the car and fled the scene on foot. One suspect was arrested a short time later. Police said a firearm was discovered near the abandoned vehicle.
Jasanthan Kandiah is facing 10 charges in connection with the incident, including break-and-enter with intent, possession of a loaded restricted firearm, and driving while under suspension.
Police said Kandiah was on three previous firearm prohibition orders at the time of his arrest.
A detailed description of the second suspect was not released.
“Any witnesses that have not already spoken to police are being asked to come forward,” police said.
