Toronto police say a man has been charged and a handgun was recovered as part of a carjacking investigation.
In a news release issued Monday, police said a robbery was reported near Scarlett and Dixon roads on July 12.
Police said a 39-year-old man was sitting in his parked car with a friend when an unknown man got into the back seat of the vehicle.
The suspect pointed a handgun at the 39-year-old and “made a demand for his property,” police said.
The suspect then allegedly stole the car and fled.
Officers from Toronto police’s hold-up squad investigated, determined the suspect’s identity, and on Thursday, executed a search warrant at a home.
Police said they recovered a loaded handgun, an over-capacity magazine and ammunition.
Toronto resident Eysayah Davis, 24, was charged with 11 offences including robbery with a firearm, disguise with intent, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a prohibited device, possession of a firearm obtained by crime and failing to comply with a release order.
He appeared in court Friday.
