Durham Police investigators are looking for three suspects following a carjacking Monday evening.
This is a second such incident after an Aston Martin was carjacked from Pickering Casino Resort (see below) a few days ago.
On Monday, July 24 at about 8:30 pm, members of West Division responded to the Pickering Town Centre located at 1355 Kingston Road for a carjacking that had occurred.
The victim was inside his vehicle when he was approached by two suspects, one brandishing a firearm. The suspects demanded the victim’s keys, and then stole his vehicle and travelled eastbound through the parking lot. The suspects had arrived in a stolen black BMW sedan which was driven by a third suspect, said a police statement.
There were no physical injuries reported. The victim’s vehicle has since been recovered in Toronto, it added.
The three suspects are described as:
Suspect #1: male, Black, thin build, 6’1”, 20-30 years old, wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt and black baggy pants.
Suspect #2: male, Black, medium build, 20-30 years old.
Suspect #3: male, Black, medium build, 20-30 years old, facial hair.
Investigators are encouraging anyone with information or video footage, including dashcam, to contact police.
Anyone with information about this investigation is asked to contact the Robbery Unit at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5355.
