York Regional Police say they notified the Special Investigations Unit after a suspect died following an interaction with police officers in Aurora Wednesday night.
The SIU says the dead person is a 17-year-old male.
Police say they responded to reports of an ongoing break-and-enter in the St. John’s Side Road and Bayview Avenue area before 8 p.m.
The officers were immediately confronted by a male suspect on the scene.
The interaction led to the suspect’s death, and the public was asked to avoid the area.
There was an increased police presence, but no threat to public safety was reported.
The SIU has assigned four investigators and three forensic investigators to the case and were to provide an update later Thursday morning.
