York Regional Police say a man reported his car was carjacked from a Markham, Ont., plaza as he was unloading items from the trunk.
Police said on Thursday at around 6 p.m., a man was outside his grey 2016 Lexus at a parking lot plaza in the Highway 7 and Wootten Way South area.
The man reported he was unloading the trunk of his Lexus when a suspect got into the driver’s seat, police said.
Investigators said the car was running at the time of the carjacking and the victim tried to get the suspect out of his vehicle but was shoved back.
The suspect then showed the man a gun and fled the area in the vehicle, police said.
Police also said investigators believe a second male suspect was waiting nearby in a white truck or SUV and left the area following the first suspect.
The first suspect is described as a man in his 30s wearing dark clothes.
“Investigators are appealing to any witnesses who have not yet spoken with police to come forward,” police said. “Officers would also like to speak with anyone who may have video surveillance or dashcam footage of the incident. “
