On March 16, 2026, the Durham Regional Police arrested a man and a woman in Oshawa, Ontario, after they led officers on a high-speed chase through local streets. The incident began around 2:10 a.m. when officers from the Central East Division were called to investigate a suspicious red sedan near the intersection of Rosedale Avenue and Division Street.

According to the Durham Regional Police Service, the driver of the car refused to stop for a traffic check and sped through several stop signs at high speeds. The suspects eventually abandoned the red sedan and tried to escape on foot before being caught by officers searching the nearby area.

Police arrested 29-year-old Natasha Robitaille and 40-year-old Joseph James Harley Crozier in connection with the incident. After searching the abandoned vehicle, officers reported finding quantities of cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, and ecstasy.

Both individuals face drug possession charges, while Robitaille is also charged with dangerous driving and failing to stop for police. Officials confirmed that no injuries were reported during the chase or the subsequent arrests.
