A 17-year-old from Brampton is among four youths charged after masked suspects tried to break into a Toronto business before fleeing from police on foot.<\/p>\n

Toronto Police say officers responded to a reported robbery around 1:50 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 20, in the area of Wilson Avenue and Keele Street.<\/p>\n

Investigators allege four masked suspects attempted to break into a business but were unable to get inside. The group then fled in a vehicle, police said.<\/p>\n

Officers located and stopped the vehicle, but all four suspects allegedly ran. Police caught up with them after a brief pursuit and arrested all four.<\/p>\n

One officer suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital, according to police.<\/p>\n

The Brampton teen was charged with robbery with an offensive weapon, disguise with intent and possession of property obtained by crime valued at more than $5,000.<\/p>\n
