Police said the driver returned to the vehicle and allegedly argued with the officer before getting in and driving away.

They alleged that the officer, who suffered minor injuries, and another vehicle were then struck and the male driver continued to flee westbound on Queens Quay.

Police said they are looking for a male with a medium build and shoulder-length hair that was in braids. He was wearing a black hat, white T-shirt, black shorts and white shoes at the time.

Anyone with video footage of the area or incident at the time of the collision is asked to contact police at 416-808-1900. Information can also be sent to Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477 or 222tips.com.

Police said they responded to the crash at about 6 a.m. in the Erin Mills Pkwy.-Eglinton Ave. W. area, where a white Mercedes sedan was travelling eastbound on Eglinton at a high rate of speed before it struck a female pedestrian who was in the intersection.

They said the driver made no attempt to stop and fled from the scene.

Police said the suspect vehicle may have extensive damage to the front end and windshield and they are appealing for people in the area at that time to review video footage. They are also asking body shops to contact them if a white Mercedes sedan with similar damage is brought in for repairs.

“Investigators are urging the suspect to retain legal counsel and turn themselves in to police,” Peel cops said in a news release.

Anyone with information or relevant footage can contact police at 905-453-2121, Ext. 3710.

Ex-staffer accused of stealing electronics

A 35-year-old Oshawa man has been accused of stealing about $22,000 worth of electronics from his former place of employment in Pickering.

Durham Regional Police said they responded to a break-and-enter call in June at a financial business in the Liverpool Rd.-Pickering Pkwy. area and were told by staff that an ex-employee was allegedly using a stolen key fob to access the office.

Police said the key fob was allegedly used “multiple times” between April and May to steal the electronics and on Friday they executed a search warrant at a residence in Oshawa, where they took the suspect into custody without incident.

Oluwaloseyitan Jermaine Kentebe was charged with break-and-enter and possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 1-888-579-1520, Ext. 1905. Anonymous tips can also be sent to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or durhamregionalcrimestoppers.ca.
