1 arrested, 1 wanted after Hamilton city vehicles stolen
The second suspect, a 35-year-old suspect remains wanted and is believed to have no fixed address. He is known to frequent the Hamilton, Niagara and Burlington areas.
Global News reports that one individual has been arrested and authorities are currently seeking a second suspect in connection with the theft of two City of Hamilton vehicles. The incident occurred on July 22 at approximately 12:24 a.m., when two men entered a city facility in central Hamilton and stole several sets of keys belonging to city fleet vehicles.
The suspects then fled the scene in a stolen city vehicle, which was later stopped by police for stunt driving in another jurisdiction. The vehicle had not been reported stolen at the time of its apprehension. Further investigation led detectives to connect the vehicle to the break-in, resulting in the identification of two suspects.
A 55-year-old man was recently arrested in Toronto while attempting to board a flight out of the country, while a 35-year-old suspect remains at large. Both men face charges of break and enter with intent to commit theft, disguise with intent, and theft of a motor vehicle. Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the second suspect to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
