Peel Regional Police say three of their cruisers boxed in a reportedly stolen vehicle during a “strategic” traffic stop in Brampton on Monday night.

Investigators said they first spotted the vehicle travelling southbound on Main Street North at Bovaird Drive at around 11:50 p.m. The strategic stop by officers happened a short distance away at Main Street North and English Street, just north of Vodden Street.

The three cruisers involved sustained minor front-bumper damage during what police referred to as a “tandem stop,” a procedure in which a vehicle is boxed in as a way to stop it.

Police said three male suspects were taken into custody, and one of them was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Investigators said the vehicle was stolen on Feb. 21 in Brampton.

“A search of the vehicle revealed bank cards and other documents believed to be stolen,” police said in a press release.

Jaskaran Sandhu, a 36 year-old man from Brampton, was arrested and charged with three counts of possession of property obtained by crime and breach of probation.

Jagseer Sidhu, a 30 year-old man from Brampton, was arrested and charged with two counts of possession of property obtained by crime.

Arjun Arjun, a 23-year-old man of no fixed address, was arrested and charged with two counts of possession of property obtained by crime and failure to comply with a release order.

Police said Sandhu was the man who sustained minor injuries during the incident and has since been released from hospital.

All three men are scheduled to appear at a bail hearing at a Brampton courthouse on Tuesday.

Main Street North between Archibald and Vodden streets was closed overnight for the investigation. The roads reopened shortly after 7:30 a.m.
