Suspect arrested in theft of Porsche that was captured on video

Police have arrested an 18-year-old woman who allegedly stole a Porche and then ran over its owner in an incident that was captured on video.

It happened near Winston Churchill Boulevard and Eglinton Avenue in Mississauga at around 2 p.m. on Sept. 6.

Police have previously said the suspect attended the victim’s residence after responding to an Auto Trader advertisement for his 2022 Porsche Cayenne.

In the video footage, released by police on Wednesday, the suspect tells the victim she is waiting for her father and is interested in “taking a look” at the vehicle.

The video then cuts to the driveway, where the suspect can be seen in the driver’s seat of the Porsche. As the vehicle turns on and moves slightly, the victim tries to get inside before making his way to the rear of the vehicle.

That’s when the suspect floors it and reverses the vehicle onto the street, striking the victim.

The victim previously told CTV News Toronto that he sustained injuries to his elbow, hands and legs as a result and continues to seek medical attention.

In a news release issued on Friday afternoon, police said that a suspect turned herself into authorities in connection with the incident on Sept. 19.

Sarah Badshaw, 18, of Brampton is charged with four offences, including theft of a motor vehicle and dangerous operation causing bodily harm.

“Sarah has been charged with prior fraud related offences in Peel and is wanted by other GTA police services for separate investigations. This investigation remains active and investigators anticipate additional arrests and charges,” police said in the release.
