A woman, 30, has been charged with theft of a motor vehicle and possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, Toronto police said in a Saturday news release.
Police say a man, 33, faces the same charges, along with two counts of mischief/damage to property over $5,000, four counts of assaulting a peace officer with a weapon, dangerous operation of a vehicle, endangering lives or public safety, and injuring a police, military or service animal.

Mounted officers approached a vehicle parked on Queen Street W. near Beverley Street, which they believed was stolen after receiving an alert from an automatic licence plate reader, police said in a Saturday news release.
