TORONTO — Police say four Toronto boys — including a 14-year-old alleged to be the driver of a getaway car — are facing more than 30 charges in two armed robberies.
In the first incident, on Nov. 29 at 5:50 p.m., police allege two masked teens entered a store in the Dawes Rd. and Danforth Ave. area armed with a shotgun, made a demand for money, and fled in a stolen car driven by the 14-year-old.
Police say a similar robbery occurred an hour later in the Lawrence Ave. E. and Scarborough Golf Club Rd. area.
Toronto Police say two teens were arrested following a brief pursuit on Nov. 30 after officers spotted the stolen car.
Two more teens were arrested the following day and police say officers recovered three rifles that were stolen during a residential break-and-enter on Nov. 28.
The 14-year-old, a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old each face numerous counts, including robbery with a firearm and disguise with intent, while another 16-year-old faces four charges, including three firearms counts.
