Toronto police said on March 20, officers received a report of a person with a gun at an apartment building in the area of Norway and Elmer avenues.

Police said a female suspect allegedly befriended the victim and gained entry into his apartment.

“After being in the apartment for some time, the woman left for a brief period of time,” officers allege in a news release.

Police said the woman then came back with two male suspects.

“Once the two men gained entry to the unit, the victim left the apartment in fear,” police said. ” A short time later, the three suspects fled the scene in a black sedan with dark tinted windows.”

According to police, on Sunday, two suspects were arrested by Durham Regional Police.

Twenty-three-year-old Draylon Taylor from Oshawa has been charged with conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, using an imitation firearm and being unlawfully in a dwelling house.

Officers said 22-year-old Sydney White from Ajax has been charged with conspiracy to commit an indictable offence and being unlawfully in a dwelling.

Police said they will appear in court at a later date.

Officers are still looking for a third suspect. He is described as being in his 20s, standing six-feet-two-inches tall. He was seen wearing a black jacket with a fur-lined hood, blue jeans, brown boots and orange gloves.

Police said he was allegedly armed with a large machete-style knife in a black sheath.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
