Toronto police say three suspects, including two teenagers, have been arrested after two nighttime robberies were reported in the city’s west end.

Police said they were called to a home in the area of South Kingsway and The Queensway at 3:10 a.m. on Jan. 8 for reports of a robbery.

It is alleged that three suspects smashed a glass kitchen door at the back of a house and broke in.

Police said someone inside the house started to call the police and the trio fled the scene.

Less than an hour later, three suspects reportedly broke into a house around Royal York Road and The Queensway.

Police said the suspects were armed and discharged their weapons when confronted by the homeowner. No one was injured.
