A Highway 400 on-ramp in Vaughan was closed for several hours early Thursday as police investigated a home invasion and vehicle crash involving fleeing suspects.
York Regional Police say officers were called around 1:15 a.m. to a reported home invasion near Pine Valley Drive and Major Mackenzie Drive. Investigators allege multiple suspects broke into a residence, stole valuables along with a pickup truck, and left the area before police arrived.
Not long after, the stolen truck crashed through a guardrail on the southbound Highway 400 on-ramp from Major Mackenzie Drive. Police confirmed the suspects were not being chased at the time of the crash.
The individuals abandoned the damaged vehicle and fled on foot. One suspect was located and arrested nearby, with police recovering a bag of stolen property. Authorities are continuing to search for at least two additional suspects, though no descriptions have been released.
The on-ramp remained closed while crews worked to repair the guardrail, with plans to reopen by noon. Drivers were advised to use alternate routes as the investigation continues.
