The Special Investigations Unit has invoked its mandate following the arrests of two individuals connected to a series of incidents in Huron County and South Bruce.
According to the Ontario Provincial Police, the investigation began on April 2 at approximately 11:00 a.m., when officers responded to a report of two individuals believed to be unconscious in a vehicle in Exeter. Upon arrival, the individuals fled, leading to an armed carjacking.
Police arrested one suspect without incident. A public advisory was issued as officers searched for the second individual, who was believed to be involved in another carjacking.
Later that evening, at approximately 10:00 p.m., South Bruce OPP located the second suspect following a single-vehicle collision. With assistance from the OPP West Region Canine Unit, the individual was taken into custody and transported to hospital with injuries sustained during the incident.
With the SIU invoking its mandate, the OPP says it cannot provide further details at this time.
