Five people are under arrest after a vehicle crashed into police cruisers while fleeing officers following a robbery in Oakville, police say.
According to Halton Regional Police, officers tried to stop a vehicle at the QEW off-ramp at Brant Street around 9:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Police say the five suspects in the vehicle were being sought in a robbery that occurred at a Shoppers Drug Mart.
The driver in the vehicle did not stop and allegedly rammed into two police cruisers.

Police say an officer used a Conducted Energy Weapon (CEW) on one of the suspects during the arrest.
No injuries were reported.
