Four men face charges and a fifth is being hunted by police after multiple people were spotted stealing power tools from a Markham business on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

York Regional Police said they arrested suspects from Mississauga, Brampton and Kitchener, and a fourth man in custody is of no fixed address, in the wake of the theft that unfolded at around 7:45 p.m. in the area of Fairburn Drive and Highway 7.<\/p>\n

Police said reports indicated that multiple suspects were seen loading power tools into shopping carts and then leaving the store without paying for the goods.<\/p>\n

The men were recognized by loss prevention workers at the business from previous theft incidents, police said in a news release on Monday.<\/p>\n

The store workers followed the suspects as they left the business and began loading the power tools into a vehicle. As the men then tried to leave the area in the vehicle, police arrived on scene and attempted to block the car.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspect vehicle made contact with a police vehicle, and five suspects fled on foot,\u201d police said.<\/p>\n

Following a short foot pursuit, four men were taken into custody, police said.<\/p>\n

A fifth man remains on the run.<\/p>\n

All stolen property was recovered at the scene, according to police.<\/p>\n
