Ontario Provincial Police in Collingwood and the Blue Mountains have arrested three youths in connection with the theft of catalytic converters at a local car dealership.
Early Tuesday, officers went to a Collingwood car dealership to investigate a complaint about a suspicious person.
When officers arrived, police say the suspects attempted to flee in their vehicle and rammed two police cruisers.
Both cruisers were damaged, leaving one unserviceable.
The police were able to arrest youths who could not be identified under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
The three accused have been charged with a total of 13 Criminal Code offences, including theft under $5,000, wearing a disguise with intent to commit an indictable offence, and fleeing from police.
The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Collingwood at a future date.
