Two men arrested months after violent Brampton carjacking

Two men have been arrested and charged in connection with a violent early-morning carjacking in Brampton, following a months-long investigation by investigators with the Central Robbery Bureau.

According to Peel Regional Police, the incident occurred on Saturday, Jan. 10, at approximately 2:10 a.m., when a man and woman were exiting their vehicle near Queen Street East and Goreway Drive in Brampton.

Police say the couple was approached by two masked suspects. It is alleged the suspects assaulted the male victim before stealing the couple’s vehicle and fleeing the area.

One suspect was arrested shortly after the incident, while a second remained outstanding as the investigation continued.

On Thursday, June 18, investigators located and arrested the second suspect following a targeted surveillance operation in Vaughan.

As a result of the investigation, Evan Nurse, 23, of Vaughan, and Shemar Sallaby, 23, of Brampton, have each been charged with robbery, disguise with intent, flight from a peace officer, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, and possession of property obtained by crime.

Police say both accused were held for a bail hearing and later released by the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton under a number of conditions.

Anyone with information about the investigation is asked to contact investigators.
