York region police have made another arrest in connection with an attack on a woman who was later kidnapped from Wasaga Beach last January.
In December of 2021, police were called to an address on King William Crescent, in the area of Yonge Street and Bantry Avenue, after the 37-year-old Elnaz Hajtamiri was attacked with a frying pan in an underground parking garage. The attack was interrupted by a citizen and the suspects fled the scene.
Police have identified and charged three suspects in connection with that attack – Harshdeep Binner, 24, from Brampton, Riyasat Singh, 23, and her ex-boyfriend, Mohamad Lilo.
On Friday, police said a fourth person – 25-year-old Harshpreet Sekhon – has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence.
One month after the attack, Hajtamiri was violently taken from a relative’s home in Wasaga Beach by three men in police gear.
Provincial police and York police have offered a $100,000 reward to anyone with information that leads to the location of Hajtamiri.
Earlier this month, police released new photos of two men and a woman believed to be involved in her abduction.
