A theft at a Bowmanville used car lot early Tuesday morning has police looking for suspects who fled the scene in a black Chevrolet SUV, with officers forced to give up the chase for “safety reasons.”

A check of the business confirmed several items had been stolen.
Anyone with cell phone, dash cam, surveillance footage or information about this incident is asked to contact the East Division Criminal Investigations Branch at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 1605.
