Two adults, with three youth in tow, committed an armed robbery in Toronto, but got caught in Durham.
On Sunday, May 17 around 12:40 am, members of West Division received information related to a robbery that had just occurred in Toronto. A male suspect pointed a firearm at a limo driver before stealing a passenger’s backpack from the vehicle trunk.
The passenger was not inside the limo at the time of the robbery, police said.
The suspects fled the area in a second limo that was later located by officers near Kingston Road and Liverpool Road in Pickering. Officers initiated a traffic stop on the limo and took seven occupants into custody.
Three firearms with two prohibited over-capacity magazines and a large quantity of cash was located. One of the firearms had an altered serial number, while another was confirmed stolen from the United States.
Of the seven arrested, the limo driver and another occupant were released unconditionally. At the time of their arrests, four of the accused were already on weapons prohibition conditions.
The victims did not suffer any physical injuries.
A 47-year old woman from Toronto, a 19-year old from Toronto, a 17-year old from Ajax, and a 15-year old and a 14-year old from Toronto were held for a bail hearing.
The male offenders were all on weapons prohibition conditions prior to the arrest. Name and further details available at www.drps.ca.
