Two suspects arrested, two on the loose after Toronto home invasion and kidnapping
Written by The Canadian Press on December 4, 2025
TORONTO — Police say two suspects in an armed home invasion and kidnapping in northwest Toronto have been arrested, and two more remain on the loose.
Investigators say four suspects drove up to a home in the Martin Grove Road and John Garland Boulevard area late Tuesday night.
It’s alleged three of the suspects then approached a man who had just arrived in a red Honda Civic, and one of them showed a handgun.
Police say suspects forced the man into the backseat of his own car and drove around for about an hour while making demands at gunpoint, with some suspects following along in a different vehicle.
The group then allegedly returned to the home and the suspects forced both the man and the newly arrived homeowner inside, holding them at gunpoint alongside a third person who had just woken up.
Police say one of the suspects showed a shotgun and demanded valuables. The suspects allegedly made off with cash, jewelry, clothes, electronics, cannabis and both the Honda Civic and a Ford pickup truck belonging to the homeowner.
Police were called shortly before 1 a.m. and spotted both stolen vehicles around 1:45 a.m. near Highway 401 and Weston Road. Officers blocked one of the vehicles and one of the suspects tried to run away on foot, pointing a handgun at the officers, they said.
That suspect was arrested and a loaded handgun was recovered, police said.
The stolen pickup was sighted shortly afterward but escaped after charging at a scout car, police said. It was later located near St. Clair Avenue West and Runnymede Road, and a suspect was arrested after a short chase on foot, they said.
The suspects’ vehicle has not yet been found, nor do investigators have a description of it, police said Thursday in asking for any dashcam footage of the area.
The two suspects who have been arrested are 30 and 35, both from Toronto. They face nearly two dozen charges combined, including kidnapping, robbery with a firearm and theft of a motor vehicle with violence.
Police said they believe the homeowner — not the man who was first approached — was targeted by the suspects.
