Four people, including two juveniles, have been charged after a video was released this month showing what police say was a woman stealing a Porsche from someone’s driveway.
A 36-year-old man, a 21-year-old and two youths now also face multiple charges in connection with a Peel Regional Police investigation, which now also involves a second vehicle allegedly stolen on September 6.
Viral footage of the incident was viewed hundreds of thousands of times after it was released by Peel police on September 18.
Police allege the woman shown in the video – 18-year-old Sarah Bradshaw – can be seen driving away in a Porsche Cayenne and then backing into the owner near Winston Churchill Boulevard and Eglinton Avenue in Mississauga.
After the incident was made public, police said Bradshaw eventually turned himself in and was formally charged.
Peel Police have since recovered the stolen Porsche Cayenne, as well as a BMW X5, which they believe is part of the same investigation.
