Police charge 1 man in East York armed robbery, 2 other suspects still on the run

One suspect has been charged and another has been identified in connection with an East York armed robbery.

Toronto police say they were called to the area of Pape Avenue and O’Connor Drive last month after three suspects armed with guns allegedly forced their way into an apartment.

Once inside, the trio allegedly assaulted the occupant and stole multiple items from the unit before fleeing the scene.
