A 33-year-old male faces numerous charges after carjacking a vehicle in Oshawa and fleeing from police.
On Thursday, November 28, 2019, at approximately 11:30 p.m., the victim was seated in her vehicle at a parking lot at Harmony Road North and Taunton Road East in Oshawa when an unknown suspect approached her and assaulted her before stealing her vehicle.
