Ontario Premier Doug Ford says four masked suspects attempted to steal a car from his Etobicoke driveway early Tuesday morning.
'Thank God the police got you and I never did,' Ford said at an unrelated news conference in a self-described 'rant' about Canada's criminal justice system.
Ford initially said that the suspects, who he described as 'stupid criminals,' were apprehended by his OPP detail. However, Toronto police clarified their officers made the arrests.
The premier said the car belonged to his brother.
More details to come.
