Four suspects wanted in a break-in collided with a police vehicle while trying to escape, investigators say.
The break-and-enter happened on Dock Road in Barrie on Tuesday afternoon. Responding officers located the suspect vehicle, which was stolen from Oakville.
A brief pursuit took place and continued onto the 25th Sideroad in Essa Township. The pursuit was then called off because of heavy traffic in the area.
Investigators say a Barrie police tactical vehicle was then hit along Essa Road by the suspects. Their vehicle then continued on Highway 90 and wound up in a ditch on the 11th Line of Essa.
Three of the suspects were found fleeing on foot. The fourth suspect is still at large.
Anyone with information is asked to call police or Crime Stoppers.
