Police are searching for a suspect who fled the scene of a single-vehicle collision early Sunday involving a truck confirmed to be stolen.
Brantford Police Service responded around 4:39 a.m. on November 23 after a silver GMC Sierra travelling at high speed southbound on Ninth Avenue struck a tree on Erie Avenue.
Investigators determined the pickup had been reported stolen from Langton, and stolen licence plates from Brantford had been attached to it.
A 37-year-old woman was arrested at the scene and charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000.
The driver fled before officers arrived and remains at large. Police describe him as a white male with short brown hair, last seen wearing a dark-coloured hoodie and jeans.
Residents in Eagle Place, particularly those living between River Road and Mohawk Street, along with anyone who was driving in the area with dash-cam video between 4:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m., are asked to review their footage and contact Const. Joe Camilleri at jcamilleri@police.brantford.on.ca.
