Global News
A targeted home invasion and kidnapping led to a gunpoint standoff with police and an overnight chase across Toronto. Two suspects remain at large, investigators say.
Toronto police are appealing for the public’s help as they search for two suspects still at large following a late-night kidnapping and home invasion at gunpoint.
In a news conference on Thursday, Toronto police said two of four suspects have been apprehended in connection with a violent home invasion and police chase that spanned across multiple west-end neighbourhoods early Wednesday morning.
Investigators are trying to trace anyone who may have been in the areas during the critical window when the suspects initially arrived in the area, hoping fresh tips will help identify the outstanding individuals.
Supt. Richard Harris of 12 Division said a group of four individuals were in the Rexdale area waiting near an individual’s home in a planned home invasion. The four suspects arrived sometime between 11 p.m. on Tues. Dec. 2 and 12:30 a.m. on Wed. Dec. 3, according to police.
Shortly before 1 a.m., four suspects pulled into the driveway of the residence and confronted a man in a red Honda Civic.
One suspect pulled out a handgun, forcing the man into the back seat. The group then drove off with another suspect vehicle following behind.
For roughly an hour, police say the victim was held at gunpoint as the two vehicles drove around nearby neighbourhoods.
Harris said the suspects made demands during this time, suggesting that they intended to return to the residence where the abduction first began.
