When the Kia allegedly failed to stop as directed, a pursuit was initiated; however, was terminated shortly after due to safety concerns.
Just after midnight, police located the Kia on Cary Street, Toronto, and attempted to stop the vehicle again.
A pursuit was initiated, continuing to Nelson Street, Toronto, where three people got out and attempted to flee on foot.

They were all charged with larceny, aggravated break and enter dwelling etc in company – steal, be carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner, and incite to the commission of crimes.
Additionally, the 13-year-old was also charged with face blackened/disguised with intent to commit indictable offence.
