Toronto police are asking for the public’s help in identifying two suspects wanted in connection with a home-invasion robbery in the city’s east end.

Police said officers were called to an apartment building on Kennedy Road, just north of Ellesmere Road, on Nov. 26 after 1:40 a.m.

The unit was being used for prostitution. Police said two men armed with handguns and a knife posed as customers and entered the apartment.

Police said the suspects demanded money from three people in the apartment, two of whom were pistol-whipped and tied up. Money was then turned over to the suspects.

After officers arrived at the apartment, they heard a gunshot from inside the building. Police said the suspects then scaled down the apartment from an outside balcony and left the scene.
