Three masked men forced their way into a Richmond Hill home early Tuesday to demand the keys to a vehicle that they fled with, only to abandon it a short distance away.
The men forced their way into the house, occupied by three adults, near Arnold Avenue and Guinevere Court on Tuesday, March 18, just before 3 a.m., York Regional Police said.
The victim complied with the demand to hand over the vehicle keys and a suspect entered a vehicle parked in the garage. The suspect reversed through the closed garage door and through the gate at the end of the driveway, police said.
The victim’s vehicle was later found abandoned a short distance away, police said.
The suspects are believed to have arrived in a dark-coloured sport utility vehicle, driven by a fourth suspect.
The first suspect is described as male, Black, light complexion, approximately six feet, heavy build, and was wearing a black hoody, black pants, white shoes, blue gloves and a black face covering.
The second suspect is described as male, approximately five feet six inches, thin build and was wearing a black hoody, black pants, black shoes, a white full-face mask and blue gloves.
The third suspect is described as male, Black, approximately six feet, thin build, and was wearing a black jacket with a white logo on the left side of the chest, black pants and black and white shoes.
