When police searched the area, they said they found the suspects in a nearby restaurant, and placed them under arrest.

The 16-year-old driver from Scarborough was charged with possession of an identity document, fail to remain, driving a motor vehicle without a licence, and careless driving.

The two passengers, both 17 years old of Scarborough, were charged under the Cannabis Control Act with possessing cannabis while being under 19 years old.

The accused has been released from police custody. The driver is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
