Toronto police are investigating a spate of carjacking incidents which occurred over the long weekend, including one incident which saw a suspect flag down a cab, only to allegedly threaten the driver with a knife before making off in his vehicle.
According to police, the victim was parking his vehicle and was approached by a suspect as he exited the car. The suspect was armed with a handgun and demanded the victim’s keys, police said. The victim handed over the keys and the suspect then got into the driver’s seat while a second male was seen getting into the passenger’s side of the vehicle before they fled.
The second incident occurred a day later at 4:14 a.m. in the area of Bremner Boulevard and York Street. The suspects in that incident are described as standing between five-foot-ten and six feet tall. They were wearing hooded sweatshirts and track pants and fled the area in a gray-coloured 2019 - 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
