Police hunting for two men in stolen car who fled police at ‘high rate of speed’ in Pickering, Ontario [Video]

Two men in a stolen car who smashed into two parked vehicles during a brazen midday getaway from police are the subject of a manhunt by Durham Regional Police.

Police responded to a stolen vehicle call at 1 p.m. after the owner of the vehicle spotted it in the parking lot at the Pickering City Centre shopping mall and called for help.
