Toronto, Dec 13 (IANS) Police in Canada have charged and arrested a Sikh man after he "intentionally" ran a police cruiser off the roadway in a stolen vehicle in the city of Brampton.
In July 2021, Gauravdeep Singh was seen operating a stolen vehicle around Hurontario Street and County Court Boulevard in Brampton, the Peel Regional Police said.
Singh made "intentional contact with a police cruiser, causing it to leave the roadway and make good on his escape".
Following the incident, an arrest warrant was issued for Singh, and he was arrested late last month.
Singh has been charged with 12 offences, including theft of a motor vehicle, possession of stolen property and flight from a police officer.
"It is a miracle that there were no serious injuries in this incident as this individual attempted to harm our officers, who accept the inherent risks associated with their jobs to keep our community safe," Peel Regional Police Deputy Chief, Marc Andrews, said in a statement.
Mike Farnworth says that would give displaced residents returning home a sense of their future after 90 per cent of their village burned to the ground last June 30 during a record-setting heat wave.
An impact analysis of the Clean Fuel Regulations published Wednesday estimates they will cut about 18 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions in 2030, or five to six per cent of what Canada needs to eliminate to meet its current targets for that year.
In a release Wednesday, the Public Health Agency of Canada also said it will continue the pause of mandatory random testing for fully vaccinated travellers at all airports until mid-July.
VPD officers responded to reports of an assault near East First Avenue and Main Street at 4:30 p.m. on June 2. Scott Carver, 56, was taken to hospital where he succumbed to his injuries and died. A 61-year-old man has been arrested. Investigators believe the suspect and victim knew each other.
Canada Day celebrations are making a return after two years of scaled-down festivities because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but some Canadians hoping to catch a traditional parade may be out of luck. Several cities say the rising cost of security and insurance, in addition to troubles securing funding, is forcing them to rethink their celebrations.
Both suspects were shot and killed as police responded to the robbery and six officers were wounded. Chief Const. Dean Duthie says two officers were seriously hurt and underwent surgery late Tuesday.
