(OPP) Police in Collingwood are investigating a suspicious incident that took place in a residential neighbourhood. On Wednesday, just before 1 a.m., officers responded to a report of a suspicious person checking vehicles in the Lockhart subdivision in Collingwood. Officials say the suspect was observed getting out of a Dodge Durango and inspecting a parked vehicle with a flashlight before leaving the area. Officers tracked down the man travelling eastbound on Stanley Street. Police say the vehicle allegedly failed to stop and fled the area. Multiple OPP units from Collingwood and Huronia West Detachments coordinated patrols to find the vehicle. Police deployed a spike belt on Highway 26 near Cullham Road, which successfully deflated the vehicle's tires. The man proceeded to run off so officers coordinated a search of the area. At this time, the suspect remains outstanding and the investigation is ongoing. The vehicle, a 2023 Dodge Durango, was confirmed stolen from York Region.
