TORONTO — Toronto police say they have arrested and charged three male youths in a robbery at a mall in North York Monday night.
Officers were called to Fairview Mall shortly before 9 p.m. after reports of a robbery at a jewelry store.
On a post on X, police said four suspects carrying hammers all took off on foot with stolen items.
A Toronto police spokesperson says the three male youths arrested have been charged with robbery with an offensive weapon and disguise with intent, while one was also charged with failing to comply.
At around the same time, police were called to another robbery at a retail store at Eglinton Ave W & Venn Crescent, where three suspects in black masks and hoodies were also wielding hammers and fled in a vehicle.
The police spokesperson says the second robbery is being investigated independently.
