On December 12, 2024, at approximately 11:50 p.m., Central District General Patrol officers were patrolling in the area of Sargent Avenue and Simcoe Street when they observed a white 2023 Nissan Qashqai which was reported stolen from rear of a residence on December 8, 2024, in the 100 block of Gerard Street.
