A 20-year-old man is facing four dozen charges in connection with a series of street and retail robberies in Scarborough that saw him allegedly threaten victims with a knife in several instances.<\/p>\n

Toronto police said<\/a> officers from 41 Division responded to at least eight robberies between January and August.<\/p>\n

During street robberies, a suspect wearing a ski mask would approach victims and allegedly demand their property, such as cellphones and e-scooters.<\/p>\n

Police said the suspect would then assault the victims before fleeing with the stolen items. They further alleged that in some cases, the suspect would pull out a knife or point a firearm to threaten the victims.<\/p>\n

Police said the victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n

The same suspect is believed to be responsible for a robbery at a store near Kennedy Road and Eglinton Avenue East.<\/p>\n

Employees confronted the suspect during the robbery, prompting him to allegedly brandish a knife and threaten them, police said.<\/p>\n

No employees were physically injured.<\/p>\n

In a news release on Saturday, police announced that they located the suspect, Anthoney Grey of Toronto, inside the same store the previous day.<\/p>\n

He was arrested and charged with 48 offences, including eight counts of carrying a concealed weapon, eight counts of possessing a weapon dangerous to public peace, five counts of possession of property obtained by crime, six counts of assault with a weapon, three counts of robbery and three counts of uttering threats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 20-year-old man is facing four dozen charges in connection with a series of street and retail robberies…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":109245,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[712,49,48,44],"class_list":{"0":"post-109244","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-canada","8":"tag-apple-news","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=109244"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/109244\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/109245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=109244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=109244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=109244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
