Two Mississauga men are facing a rash of robbery, weapons and assault charges after a violent overnight home invasion and car theft in Toronto last week.
Investigators with Toronto Police and several other law enforcement agencies made the arrests on Tuesday in connection with the home invasion last Thursday at about 2:30 a.m. in the Steeles Avenue East/Staines Road area.
Police say a pair of culprits “forcibly entered the victim’s home” before allegedly pointing a gun at him and then assaulting him.
The men then stole the victim’s car and other valuables before fleeing the scene, police said.
The man was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
Toronto Police tactical officers, York Regional Police holdup squad officers and members of the Provincial Carjacking Joint Task Force executed two search warrants on Tuesday in relation to the investigation.

It’s comprised of officers from various forces across Ontario, including Peel Regional Police, and is jointly led by Toronto Police and OPP.
