Police identify suspects in ‘violent’ and ‘shocking’ Milton carjacking

Police have identified the suspects wanted in a “violent” and “shocking” carjacking that took place in Milton on Tuesday morning.

Halton police received a report shortly before 10 a.m. of a carjacking at the Metro parking lot at 1050 Kennedy Circle.

Officers say a stolen white 2014 Ford F250 struck a parked Honda CRV. The suspects smashed the driver’s side window of the CRV, opened the door and forcefully threw the female out of the vehicle and onto the ground. Both suspects got into the Honda and fled the parking lot.

The female was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

“This is a shocking and violent crime that put the lives of many Milton residents at risk,” 1 District Supt. Dave Stewart said in a press release.

“We are dedicating all available resources and will relentlessly pursue those responsible and hold them accountable.”

Officers found the stolen, unoccupied Honda CRV around 3 p.m. in the area of Kennedy Rd. South in Brampton.

Earlier that morning, police saw the same truck weaving through traffic around 9:30 a.m. in the area of Derry Rd. and Holly Ave. Officers were unable to stop the vehicle after it approached a police cruiser and sped away.

The vehicle was then seen several times driving erratically throughout Milton and was involved in two hit-and-run collisions. The driver also left Petro Canada at 5 Main St. East around 9:35 a.m. without paying for the gas.

Police say the pickup truck also drove through a fence at Pineview Public School and into a playground where children were. No one was injured during those incidents.

Moore is wanted for robbery, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, mischief, theft under $5,000 and three counts of possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000.

Walker is wanted for robbery, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, mischief, theft under $5,000, three counts of possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000, three counts of failing to remain and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
