“Witnesses after the fact reported seeing three males running from the scene,” Schmidt said. “Those males remain outstanding at this time.”
“We’re still trying to determine exactly how this vehicle got onto the ramp – if it came from the QEW, where it came from, and the circumstances surrounding that,” he said, adding the vehicle had been reported stolen.
“We are continuing to investigate and we are appealing for any witnesses (to come forward).”
