Four suspects are facing charges and a fifth remains at large after they allegedly tried to steal shopping carts full of power tools from a store in Markham, York Regional Police (YRP) report.<\/p>\n

Officers were called to a store in the Fairburn Drive and Highway 7 area on Sunday, July 19 at around 7:45 p.m. after police say loss prevention personnel allegedly spotted several suspects from previous theft incidents loading power tools into shopping carts.<\/p>\n

\u201cLoss prevention followed the suspects as they exited the business without making any payment and began loading the stolen property into a vehicle,\u201d police alleged in a release.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the suspects got into the vehicle and were about to flee, officers arrived on scene and attempted to contain it. The suspect vehicle made contact with a police vehicle, and five suspects fled on foot.\u201d<\/p>\n

YRP say after a short foot pursuit four of the five suspects were arrested and the tools were recovered.<\/p>\n

No description is available for the outstanding suspect.<\/p>\n

Mohit Sharma, 36, of no fixed address, Manpreet Singh, 30, of Brampton, Vishavjeet Singh, 22, of Mississauga and Sukhinder Rakhra, 43, of Kitchener face a number of theft-related charges.<\/p>\n

YRP says at the time of their arrests, all four men were on separate release orders for unrelated offences.<\/p>\n
