A quiet Tuesday afternoon near Kennedy Rd. and Eglinton Ave. E. shattered as a carjacking unfolded, leaving one victim shaken and police scrambling to respond.
The victim, simply parked, noticed a red vehicle pull up alongside theirs, an ominous prelude to the terror that was about to unfold. A man emerged, not with friendly intentions, but with a handgun leveled directly at the driver.
Demands were made, cold and direct: the victim’s car keys. With the weapon brandished, compliance was immediate, the keys surrendered, and the carjacker sped away in the stolen vehicle, the red car following close behind.
Fortunately, a swift response from 42 Division – both uniformed and plainclothes officers – quickly converged on the area. Their diligence paid off, locating not one, but three vehicles parked together, including the victim’s car and the suspect’s red getaway car.
Surrounding the vehicles were several male suspects, immediately taken into custody. A closer examination revealed evidence linking them directly to the carjacking, solidifying the case against them.
Now facing a multitude of charges are Deandre Robinson, 21, from Hamilton; Alyan Shahbaz, 22, from Milton; and Ravinder Muker, 40, also from Milton. Their actions have brought them into the heart of a serious investigation.
The investigation remains ongoing, and anyone with information that could assist detectives is encouraged to come forward and share what they know.
