Armed suspects followed man to Vaughan home in daylight carjacking: Police

York Regional Police are searching for multiple suspects after an armed carjacking at a man’s home in Vaughan.

Investigators tell CityNews that police received a call just after 1 p.m. for reports of a carjacking at a residence on Purcell Crescent, in the Keele and Teston Road area.

Police allege that a man driving a black Audi Q5 was on his way home when he was confronted by two men armed with handguns. The suspects stole the victim’s car, wallet and cell phone.

The man was not physically harmed.

Police say the suspects are described as Black males in their 20s.

This incident is the latest in a series of armed carjackings across the GTA.

York Region’s police department recently arrested two people with the help of the force’s Air2 helicopter in Richmond Hill, which tracked the suspects down to a home in Toronto.

Last week, York Regional Police and Toronto Police announced dedicated task forces to tackle the string of armed carjackings.

Toronto police chief James Ramer said the force would be redeploying additional officers after reallocating approximately $2.3 million to assemble an “Organized Crime Investigative Support Team.”
