Police say they’ve arrested three people allegedly involved in a gunpoint robbery at an illegal gaming house in northwest Toronto.
It’s alleged a man entered the gaming house on the night of Feb. 9 and mingled with the customers.
Investigators allege two other men, one armed with a handgun, entered a short time later, ordered the customers and employees to the floor and duct-taped their wrists behind their backs.
