A 17-year-old is under arrest and police are searching for two other suspects wanted in a carjacking robbery in the east end of the city.
Police say on Tuesday the victim and male described as a “casual acquaintance” drove to an address in the area of Seminole Avenue and Danforth Road at which point the male exited the car and told the victim to wait for him.
Police say the male contacted two other individuals who were waiting nearby. They allegedly entered the victim’s car at which point a large knife was produced and the victim was ordered to drive to another location.
Once they arrived, the victim was ordered out of the car by the two suspects, who then drove away.
Police say they were able to identify the male that originally accompanied the victim and a subsequent search turned up items related to the investigation.
The 17-year-old has been charged with robbery with an offensive weapon, disguise with intent, and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence. The teen cannot be named under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
Police are searching for two other teens. One is described as being between 17-19 years old and five feet nine to five feet 10 inches tall while the second is said to be between 15-16 years old and five feet seven and five feet eight inches tall.
The victim’s vehicle, which has not been recovered, is a white 2010 Infiniti G37X with Ontario licence plate CWXE342.
