Police said a 2014 Land Rover was stolen from a woman at around 7:47 p.m. in the area of Wheat Boom Dr and Post Rd.
The victim’s vehicle was stopped at a four-way intersection, according to police, who said a white vehicle (possibly an SUV) rear-ended the woman’s vehicle “at a low rate of speed”.
“This prompted the victim to exit her vehicle to assess the damage sustained,” said Halton Police. “At the same time, a male exited the driver’s side of the suspect vehicle and engaged the victim in conversation pertaining to the collision.”
