BRAMPTON YOUTHS CHARGED AFTER ARMED CARJACKING
Three 17-year-old male youths from Brampton have been charged following an armed carjacking in Brampton.
Peel Regional Police said the victim was approaching his parked vehicle on Jan. 16 at 8:30 p.m. in the Dundas St. E.-Cawthra Rd. area of Mississauga when three suspects exited a vehicle parked directly beside the victim’s, confronted them at gunpoint and demanded the keys.
Cops said the victim threw his keys, at which point the suspects allegedly pushed the victim to the ground, stole his cellphone and fled in the suspect vehicle. The victim’s vehicle wasn’t stolen.
