NEW: A Quebec woman says she was stunned to learn her stolen Audi had been driven through an Ontario mall in an 'insane' robbery.
Taylor-Anna Kobinger, a resident of Laval, Que., listed her 2011 Black Audi A4 on Facebook Marketplace in January as a means to raise the funds needed for a down payment on a home.
However, on Wednesday morning, Kobinger said York Regional Police told her that her car had been involved in a robbery – more than 550 km from her home in Laval.According to York Regional Police , a car with the same license plate as Kobinger’s had been driven through the glass doors of an Ontario mall early Wednesday before allegedly breaking into an electronics store.
The vehicle is then seen driving erratically through a number of hallways in the shopping centre before smashing through a different exit and fleeing the scene.“It is an audacious crime,” Sgt. Clint Whitney told reporters outside the mall on Wednesday. “It is unacceptable. People work in this mall, there is going to be cleaners, there is going to be security personnel. So we are just fortunate that nobody was hurt and it is property damage only.
At about 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Kobinger said YRP called her and told her of her car’s involvement in the incident. While Kobinger says she’s glad her car has been found, she also says she’s struck with worriy over the costs of having to travel to Toronto to retrieve it and the subsequent repairs.
