Two men injured in home invasion at Scarborough townhouse, jewellery stolen: police

Two men were injured in an overnight home invasion assault at a residence in Scarborough, as multiple suspects lifted jewellery from the townhouse, police said.

Toronto police were called to a townhouse on Sandhurst Circle, near McCowan Road and Finch Avenue East, at 2:15 a.m. on Friday for reports of a robbery.

Police sources tell 680 NewsRadio that the homeowners were awakened by suspects who had entered the residence in search of jewellery and used a hammer in the assault.

Paramedics tell CityNews that two male victims were transported to a hospital. One had serious but non-life-threatening injuries, while the second man had minor injuries.

The male victim with serious injuries is believed to have been struck in the head with the hammer. The suspects managed to flee the townhouse in possession of stolen jewellery, police confirmed.

There are no suspect descriptions at this time, and the investigation is ongoing.
