Peel Police are searching for three men after an armed carjacking involving an Uber in Brampton on Wednesday night.

Officers were called to the Bramalea Road and Queen Street area just before 9 p.m. after an Uber driver who thought he was picking up three fares had a gun pulled on him, and was forced out of his own vehicle.

The suspects took off in the driver’s car, which is described as a 2017 White Honda Civic with license plate CPMX 803.

Luckily, the driver didn’t sustain any injuries in the incident.
