16-year-old boy charged after Aston Martin stolen in Toronto carjacking

A 16-year-old boy is facing multiple charges after an Aston Martin was stolen in a carjacking in Toronto, police say, while an “armed and dangerous” suspect remains outstanding.

Toronto police said officers responded to the incident on May 22 in the Yonge Street and Avondale Avenue area, which is just north of Highway 401.

Police said a 38-year-old woman parked her luxury 2021 Aston Martin DBX and went to a store nearby.

Two male suspects arrived in the area and waited outside the store, then confronted the victim as she got back to her vehicle, police said.

One suspect allegedly produced a handgun and demanded the keys, before both suspects fled in the Aston Martin.

Toronto police said their Hold Up Squad was able to identify one of the suspects and on Thursday, officers executed a search warrant, taking the male into custody.

Police allege that at the time of the search, officers found a prohibited extended firearm magazine and “other items of evidentiary value related to the investigation.”
