‘It’s getting out of hand’: Brampton homeowner details violent home invasion robbery

Police arrested two men and are searching for third suspect following a violent armed home invasion robbery in Brampton.

Peel Regional Police (PRP) say they were called to the Sandalwood Parkway and Airport Road area just before 11:30 p.m. on Thursday.

Security video obtained by CityNews shows three people approaching the home, and one of the individuals is seen using a hammer on the front door to gain entry.

Muffled voices, screaming and loud bangs can be heard from inside the home through the outside security camera.

Video from inside the home shows a broken door, a large hole in the wall and blood stains on the walls and floor.

The homeowner, who did not want to be identified, tells CityNews he was asleep when he was awoken by the screams of his four-year-old daughter.

“There’s three guys coming up, entering my hallway,” he said. “I see a gun and a hammer.”

“They smashed my daughter’s door with a hammer and break it in …They break my daughter’s door, asking for money,” he explained.

The homeowner says he told the three he did not have any money, offering them the keys to his pickup truck and his cell phone. He says police used the cell phone to locate the suspects at a nearby mall a short time later as they were attempting to withdraw money from a bank machine.

PRP have identified two of the suspects as 19-year-old Tevaun Green and 20-year-old Jahsiah Dickson of Brampton.

Both men have been charged with three criminal offences, which include robbery with a firearm, wearing a disguise with the intent to commit a crime and possession of property obtained by crime.

“These violent offenders endanger lives and compromise people’s sense of safety in their own homes, and throughout the community,” Peel Regional Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah said in a statement. “Our responding officers and investigators will continue to work relentlessly to ensure those responsible are arrested and held accountable.”

Authorities say their investigation is ongoing and anticipate more charges will be laid. However, no other details about the outstanding suspect were provided.

“It’s getting out of hand,” the homeowner says of recent home invasion robberies. “It’s too much.”

Peel police say that of the 213 break and enters recorded so far in 2025, 112 of those were residential. That is comparable to the same number of incidents during the same period in 2024.
