Police are looking for four suspects after a man’s dog was stolen at knifepoint in broad daylight on Monday.

The man was walking his dog at Derrydowns Park, near the Finch Ave. W. and Toberymory Dr. area, when he was approached by a group of four cyclists at about 3 p.m.

The group of men assaulted the dog-owner, and put a knife to his throat, polie said.

His white Shih Tzu, Charlie, was taken by the men, who fled the scene on their black mountain bikes.

The dog is still missing.

Police are looking for four suspects, all between the ages of 20 and 25.

The first is described as having a medium build, and was wearing a red baseball hat and red windbreaker-style jacket.

The second suspect was wearing a navy blue jacket, and the third a light-coloured sweater.

The final suspect was carrying a knife, and wore a black hooded sweater, red Canada Goose vest, and black pants.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-3100, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477.
