Roughly a week after a London woman was struck and killed while trying to stop a man from fleeing in a stolen pickup truck, police are appealing to the public in hopes of locating a suspect.
Constable Sandasha Bough said police have issued an arrest warrant for Bradley James Hill, 31, on charges of manslaughter and robbery.

The incident last week began just after 8:30 p.m. Thursday, when police say officers spotted a stolen Chevy pickup truck around Hamilton and Egerton streets.
Soon afterwards, the vehicle was found abandoned nearby and police then were called about a pickup truck that had been stolen from a nearby driveway.
Christina Smith, 32, was pronounced dead in hospital after being struck while trying to prevent the theft.
The second stolen truck was found abandoned the following morning.
