Toronto police announced Tuesday that they have arrested a third Brampton teenager in connection with a series of carjackings and an armed robbery of a retail store last June.

Police allege the teens committed four carjacking robberies across the GTA between June 7 and June 15. In each carjacking, two of the accused approached the victim and forcefully took their car keys before stealing the vehicle, police allege.

In one of the incidents, one of the teens allegedly used a “Taser-style” weapon on the victim, police said in a news release issue Tuesday.

On June 17, police allege that the suspects robbed a store in the area of Eglinton Avenue West and Dufferin Street of cash and cellphones.

On Thursday, police arrested a 17-year-old boy who faces numerous charges including five counts of robbery.

Police arrested a 15-year-old boy on June 26 and another 15-year-old boy on July 24. They also face numerous charges.

The teenagers cannot be identified under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
