Three Toronto teens – two adults and a young offender – face a total of 18 charges following the armed robbery of a taxi driver in Scarborough early Monday morning.
According to police, the taxi driver picked up three males near Kennedy Road and Eglinton Avenue East at around 1:30 a.m.
The passengers directed the driver to the area of Finch and Pharmacy avenues, where, upon arrival, a knife was produced and the driver was assaulted and had his life threatened.
The males stole a quantity of cash, a phone and the driver’s keys before fleeing the area.
Three suspects were arrested in connection with the case following a search warrant executed by police.
Fahmi Osman, 19, and 18-year-old Faruuq Osman, both of Toronto, each face five charges including assault with a weapon, robbery and carrying a concealed weapon.
A 16-year-old boy faces eight charges, including assault with a weapon, robbery and carrying a concealed weapon.
He cannot be identified under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
All three suspects appeared in court Tuesday.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-4200 or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
