Video of brazen carjackings released by police north of Toronto

Police in York Region have released new video footage of a series of brazen carjackings as they warn drivers about a spike in violent incidents targeting luxury vehicles.

The compilation posted to social media on Monday shows four recent carjacking incidents, each using a slightly different approach.

In the first incident, the suspects appear to deliberately stage a collision in a busy intersection. One of them then gets out of their damaged car and flags down a vehicle the pair were targeting.

But instead of asking for help, the suspect forcefully pulls the driver out of the vehicle and then hops in and speeds away from the scene.

In another incident, two suspects are seen walking up a driveway as a victim parks their higher-end SUV in their garage. The suspects then grab the keys from the victim off camera and hop into the vehicle. Police say that the victim closed the garage door from the outside in an attempt to stop the thieves from getting away with his vehicle.

However, seconds later the SUV is seen smashing through the garage door, reversing out of the driveway and speeding away down the street as the victim gives chase.

A third incident takes place at a gas station. In the footage a victim is shown getting out of their vehicle, presumably to fill it up. But within seconds they are approached by two hooded suspects who proceed to get into the vehicle and drive away.

The fourth and final incident takes place in a busy shopping mall parking lot. The footage shows the suspects following a vehicle into the lot in a white truck. One of them then gets out after the vehicle is parked and confronts the driver.

Jamaicans and Somalians are a huge problem in Toronto.

Sounds like the strong societal benefits of our diversity.

What’s not to like, comrade?

The culture is changing. It’s why I now carry in my car. And I live in a state that gives me wide latitude in using it.

No fear of any long term repercussions. None. Go woke. Get your car broke.

The carjackings are taking place just north of where my wife and I live here in Toronto. The perpetrators are getting more and more bold. Really sad.
