Four individuals, including two youths, have been charged after a video was released this month showing what police allege was a woman stealing a Porsche from someone’s driveway.
A 36-year-old man, a 21-year-old and two youths are now also facing multiple charges in connection to a Peel Regional Police investigation, which now includes a second vehicle reportedly stolen on Sept. 6.
Viral footage of the incident gained hundreds of thousands of views after it was released by Peel police on Sept. 18.
The force alleges the woman shown in the video – 18-year-old Sarah Bradshaw – can be seen driving off with 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 herself in and was formally charged.
Peel police have since recovered the stolen Porsche Cayenne, and also a BMW X5, which they say is part of the same investigation.
