Speeds reached up to 180km during the chase. Once out of Tim Horton’s both drivers headed to Hopedale Rd. where the truck pulled into a driveway in an attempt to throw-off the other driver who parked out of sight.

men were seen stealing a Dirt Devil vacuum in a white box from
Canadian Tire on in the early afternoon on Thursday. The pair of
miscreants ran out of the store then got into a white Ford Ranger
and drove off. Everybody in town got their plate number so police
had an easy lead to follow up on. It’s not known if the vacuum was
recovered.
