Police are searching for five youths after a robbery and mischief were reported in Toronto.

Toronto police said on Sept. 1, at around 4:50 a.m., officers received three separate calls in the Withrow Park area, near Danforth and Carlaw avenues.

Police said a group of male youths stopped a jogger on Dingwall Avenue and assaulted him while demanding his property.

According to police, the suspects then continued west on Dingwall Avenue, where they swarmed a cyclist at Carlaw Avenue and Wroxeter Avenue and took his bike.

Officers said the youths then headed east on Bain Avenue from Pape Avenue, where they entered a UPS truck and “impeded the driver from carrying out his delivery.”
