An 18-year-old Brampton, Ontario, woman who allegedly stole a Porsche and then ran over its owner while posing as a potential buyer was arrested Thursday.
Sarah Badshaw’s mugshot was taken after she turned herself in, just a day after police released a video of the horrific crime.
The Brampton native has since been charged with four offences relating to the theft of the Porsche, including dangerous driving causing bodily harm, vehicle theft, leaving the scene of an accident and driving without a licence.
Police have also revealed that Badshaw is “linked to numerous investigations” and is wanted by other GTA police services in connection with separate investigations.
Surprisingly, Badshaw works part-time as a nanny and has an online profile offering her services and stating that she would be a great addition to any family.

Badshaw wrote: ‘Hi, my name is Sarah Badshaw, I’m 18 years old and currently still at school.
‘I am a very hard worker, I come from a very large family of 8 siblings, I love children, I love the outdoors and I love making new friends and helping these friends grow and helping them with whatever they need.
‘If you are reading my profile, please consider me. I am sure I will help your family grow :)’
Brampton police also expect to make additional arrests as they search for an expensive grey SUV, a Bentley Bentayga, described as an accomplice vehicle.

Shocking security footage captured the moment Badshaw ran over the Porsche owner after arriving at the victim’s home in response to an advert for her SUV on AutoTrader.
When she arrived at the home on September 6, she can be heard on Ring camera footage telling the homeowner: “Hey, I’m here for the Porsche,” before asking him to “take a look at it” while she waits for her father.
The video shows the driveway of the victim’s residence, near Winston Churchill Boulevard and Eglinton Avenue in Mississauga, as she and the owner were checking out the 2022 Porsche Cayenne, when she decided to escape seconds after the owner left the passenger side.
The victim, who has not been identified, appeared to suspect the woman was driving away as soon as she exited the vehicle, as she attempted to open the driver’s side door before moving to the back.

When she reached the rear of the vehicle, the woman aggressively reversed into the street, dragging the victim with her.
Apparently, one of the rear wheels caught him and he was left lying on the street.
The victim said CTV Toronto News who suffered injuries to his elbow, hands and legs and required medical attention following the incident.
Peel police have since expressed gratitude for the “power of social media” for helping them catch the suspect.
Officer Tyler Bell told CP24: ‘We posted that video on Wednesday afternoon and within 24 hours it had been shared 95,000 times.
“We then received numerous tips from the public which enabled us to identify her very quickly and effectively put pressure on her to turn herself in to the police,” he added.
