Police are searching for three suspects who investigators say should be considered “dangerous” after a home invasion in Toronto that started as a staged delivery.
The break-in happened around 9:30 p.m. at an apartment building in the Finch Avenue East and Warden Avenue area, the Toronto Police Service says.
Police say a lone male suspect dressed as a delivery driver knocked on the victim’s apartment door and claimed to be making a drop-off.
The victim instructed the male suspect to leave the item at the door.
But three male suspects “rushed” the victim when they opened the apartment door, and the men forced their way into the apartment.
The suspects then stole several luxury items before fleeing the scene in a white third-generation Acura RDX, police say.
Members of the Toronto police Hold-Up Squad are investigating and say the suspects “are considered dangerous.”
“Anyone who sees the suspects is advised not to approach them, and to call 9-1-1 immediately,” police say.
Suspect No. 1, who police say was the one who initially knocked on the apartment door, is described as an approximately 20-year-old male with a thin build, medium-length black hair, and a stubble beard. He was last seen wearing a construction shirt with a black, long-sleeved shirt underneath, and was carrying a red book or folder.
