Police have arrested two people and are seeking a third after an armed home invasion in the city’s east end.
Police say it happened on March 20, 2023 and began when a female suspect befriended a male, going back to his apartment in the Elmer and Norway avenues area in The Beaches neighbourhood.
Police say the woman eventually left, but returned with two men who were armed with a handgun and machete.
The victim wisely fled the apartment.
“A short time later, the three suspects fled the scene in a black sedan with dark tinted windows,” police said in a release.
On April 16 two suspects, Draylon Taylor, 23, of Oshawa, and Sydney White, 22, of Ajax, were arrested and charged by Durham Regional Police officers.
A third suspect remains at large.
He’s described as a man in his 20s, around six foot two. On the day of the home invasion he was wearing a black jacket with a fur-lined hood, blue jeans, brown boots and orange gloves.
Investigators say he was armed with a large machete-style knife in a black sheath.
