Man, 2 teens facing almost 60 charges in Etobicoke home invasion, armed robberies

A man and two teens are facing almost 60 combined charges after a pair of home invasions and armed robberies in Etobicoke.

Police say three people smashed in the rear kitchen door of a home in the area of South Kingsway and The Queenway just after 3:30 a.m. on Jan. 9. Once inside, they threatened the homeowners with a firearm. The trio fled once someone in the home called police.

Less than half an hour later, police say three people broke into a home three kilometres away in the area of Royal York Road and The Queensway. When the homeowner confronted the suspects, two of them produced firearms and a shot was fired into the wall before they fled the scene.

On Jan. 10, members of the Provincial Car Jacking Task Force (PCJTF) arrested a 19-year-old, a 16-year-old and a 15-year-old.

Jonathan Khan of Brampton is facing a total of 28 charges including four counts of robbery with a weapon, four counts of disguise with intent, two counts of break and enter, two counts of possessing a firearm, and eight counts of failing to comply with bail conditions.

Both the 16 and 15-year-old – whose names cannot be released under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act – are facing more than a dozen gun and robbery charges each.
