Three Oshawa teens are facing multiple charges after a violent carjacking in Peterborough late Sunday night (February 8).
At around 11:30 p.m. on Sunday, Peterborough police responded to a call in the Middlefield Road and Milford Drive area.
After arriving, officers learned the owner of the vehicle had just arrived home when another vehicle with three male teens stopped at the end of her driveway.
Two of the teens got out and demanded the victim turn over her keys. When the woman attempted to flee into her house, the teens followed her and forced the keys from her hand.
Both vehicles then fled the area, heading toward Highway 115.
Officers received word that the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) had attempted to stop the vehicles near Highway 7A, but both vehicles fled police.
A short time later, OPP advised police had located and stopped the two vehicles in the Highway 401 westbound lanes near Port Hope and the three suspects had been taken into custody.
One 18-year-old and two 19-year-olds, all of Oshawa, have each been charged with robbery with violence, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, and flight from a peace officer.
The three accused men were held in custody for a court appearance on Monday (February 9).
