A Guelph male was transported to hospital Thursday morning after twice being thrown off the hood of his stolen vehicle, report Guelph police.
Police say the person left his car parked and running outside a business in the area of Victoria Road South and York Road shortly before 7 a.m. While inside the business, the victim noticed his car’s headlights come on and ran outside as it was being reversed out of a spot. The victim jumped onto the hood then fell off when the driver braked abruptly.
The victim jumped back on the hood and was thrown off a second time when the driver pulled into a plaza and braked. The victim was transported to hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
The stolen vehicle, described as a silver 2017 four-door Subaru Impreza STI, was last seen southbound on Victoria Road. The suspect is described as a white male with a thin build wearing a dark t-shirt with a large white logo on the front and a baseball cap. It is believed he arrived in the parking lot with a second male who left the scene in a small dark-coloured four-door car.
The theft remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call Const. Stephen Gawlik at 519-824-1212, ext. 7509, email him at [email protected], leave an anonymous message for Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or leave an anonymous tip online at www.csgw.tips.
