Two arrests have been made after a stolen van flipped on its side near downtown Windsor.
Police a 23-year-old woman from Belle River and a 21-year-old woman from Windsor are charged with possession of stolen property.
Police are still looking for a 21-year-old Windsor man who is believed to be the driver but fled the scene along with another man.
