They also say the boys “forcefully removed the victim from the vehicle and then struck the victim over the head with the handgun.”
The teens took some cash and lottery tickets from the driver, however, police say they were unable to get the keys to the vehicle.
They then fled the area.
Police say officers responded quickly, searched the area, and found and arrested the suspects, police said.
A 15-year-old boy from Brampton and two 15-year-old boys from Mississauga are facing multiple charges, including robbery with a firearm, disguising with intent, and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence.
