@ST:Car theft suspects apprehended, Station 1

Three suspected car thieves were caught on Nov. 25 on Windemere Street in Beaconsfield after a police officer on patrol first saw one at a private home's driveway near a car a little past 2 a.m.

As the officer began chasing him, he also heard a Beaconsfield public security officer looking for two suspects in the same vicinity on the police band.

He caught the first suspect and then found the other two thanks to the help of the public security officer, hiding in the shed of a nearby home.

Station 1 Const. Roberto Del Papa said police are hoping to link the three suspects, all Montreal residents aged 31, 27, and 25, to a string of car break-ins that have occurred in Ste. Anne de Bellevue, Beaconsfield and Kirkland over the last week and a half of November.

Police are on the look-out for a white Cherokee Jeep with an Ontario license plate after its driver grabbed a 25-year-old female Dollard des Ormeaux resident and kicked her a couple of times after she accused him of nearly running her over.

The incident occurred Nov. 25 as she was crossing Brunswick Boulevard near its intersection with Deacon in Dollard.

Station 4 Const. Chantal Castonguay said the victim claims the driver cut her off as he was turning westward on to Brunswick.

She then ran up to the car door. "Are you crazy? You almost killed me," she told him.

The man then stepped out his car, grabbed her wrist, and kicked her a "couple of times" before a passersby intervened and made him stop.

The woman then threatened to call the police, at which point the driver leapt into his vehicle and fled westward on Brunswick.

He is described as an English-speaking white male, around approximately 55 years old.

Castonguay said police know the vehicle's license plate.

A home in Pointe Claire is out of a laptop, video game console and some jewellery after two suspects broke into it on Nov. 23 between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. and made off with those items. Station 5 Const. Liliana Bellucci said one of the suspects appears to have broken a basement window, possibly with a screwdriver, to get in.

The suspects are described as two white males, around 25-years-old.
