Police are searching for a woman and multiple accomplices after a carjacking caught on camera where a man was run over in Mississauga.

Investigators say a woman came to the home in response to an advertisement on Auto Trader selling a 2022 Porsche Cayenne.
Video of the incident shows a South Asian woman approach the home and speak with the victim, saying she’s waiting “for her dad” and wants to take a look “at the Porsche.”
But when the woman enters the vehicle the male victim tries to get in the back seat the woman hits the gas in reverse, striking the victim who appears to get run over by the vehicle.
