Earlier this month, Peel Regional Police released a shocking video of a car theft in Mississauga that captured a suspect appearing to run over the owner of a vehicle.
Four additional people, including two youths, have been arrested after a video of a thief running over the owner of a Porsche with his own vehicle in Mississauga went viral earlier this month, garnering tens of thousands of views on Peel police’s YouTube page.
On Sept. 6, a Porsche Cayenne was allegedly stolen from the driveway of a home near by an 18-year-old woman from Brampton who has since turned herself in.

Peel police announced on Friday that a 36-year-old man from ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½, a 21-year-old from ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½, and two youths with possession of property obtained by crime.
The 36-year-old man was also charged with possession of an automobile master key and obstruct police officer.
ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ court records show the 18-year-old woman was released on bail Tuesday with a string of conditions, including her sureties promising to put up $3,000.

Peel police further allege that on July 22, at a Mississauga location, the woman defrauded a victim out of a sum under $5,000 and on the same day, was in the possession of a vehicle valued at more than $5,000, knowing that it was illegally obtained.
After being released on bail in Peel, the woman was promptly picked up by ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ police on other charges, including multiple offences linked to an incident on Sept. 11. She is charged in ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ with theft of a motor vehicle, attempt to commit indictable offence and possession of property obtained by crime.
Both Peel and ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ investigators say suspects targeted the owners of luxury SUVs during pre-arranged meetings.
The owner of the 2022 Porsche Cayenne, who was allegedly run over by the 18-year-old woman from Brampton, told the Star he can’t even stand properly and is haunted by how the incident could have turned deadly.
