Toronto police have released surveillance camera footage of seven people wanted after two men were lured into a Kensington Market alley and robbed last month.
It happened in the Kensington Avenue and St. Andrew Street area at around 2:30 a.m. on June 21.
According to police, two men were lured into a nearby alley after stopping to speak with two women on the sidewalk.
Once in the alleyway, the victims were surrounded by five men, who took the cellphone of one victim and the watch of the other.
