An adult male and three youth have been arrested after robbing and threatening a male with weapons in Oshawa.
On Saturday, March 23 at about 5:25 pm, members of Central East Division responded to a robbery-in-progress at an apartment complex near Grenfell Street and Gibb Street.
The victim made arrangements to meet with a female. The victim arrived at the agreed upon location and was assaulted by multiple individuals who stole his phone and other personal items. The victim fled the apartment complex and contacted 911, police said.
