Toronto Police have arrested three teenagers in relation to an attempted carjacking and violent robbery that took place in Toronto.
On Sunday, January 29, Toronto Police Services (TPS) responded to reports of a person with a gun in the Rexdale Boulevard and Humberwood Boulevard area.
According to a TPS press release, three 15-year-old boys in masks allegedly approached the victim inside a parking lot in the west end.
One of them allegedly demanded the victim’s car keys and personal property and produced a handgun before the trio forcefully removed the victim from their car.
It is also alleged that they struck the victim on the head with the gun before fleeing the area with the victim’s cash and lottery tickets. It is unclear whether the victim suffered any permanent injuries.
Police said that the boys were unable to get the victim's car keys.
TPS said in a release that uniformed officers from the 23 Division were able to respond quickly and soon located the three boys in the area. They were taken into custody the same morning.
The boys, one from Brampton and two from Mississauga, were charged with one count each of robbery with a firearm, disguise with intent, and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence.
The suspects appeared in court at Old City Hall on Sunday morning.
