A man and two teens have been arrested in connection with an armed carjacking in Markham, Ont., police say.
York Regional Police said on Oct. 13 at around 4:30 p.m., officers received a report of a carjacking in the Elgin Street and Henderson Avenue area.
Officers said a woman had pulled into her driveway in a black Mercedes G-class SUV with her child in the backseat, as another child was playing in the driveway.
Police said she noticed a silver vehicle pull in behind her.
“A male suspect got out of the vehicle and approached her, pointing a gun, while yelling and demanding the victim get out of the car,” police said in a news release. “The victim’s husband exited the residence and the victim was able to grab her child out of the vehicle.”
Officers said the suspect allegedly stole the vehicle and fled the scene with a second suspect driving away in the silver vehicle.
