An 18-year-old male was arrested and faces charges for his alleged involvement in an armed robbery in North York that left a 12-year-old boy with life-altering injuries.
Toronto police officers were called to the Grenoble Drive and Deauville Lane area in Flemingdon Park just before 11 p.m. on May 3 for reports of a robbery.
It’s alleged that a group of males were near a bus stop when they were approached by unknown men armed with knives. The group was assaulted, and a 12-year-old boy suffered life-altering injuries. Police said the others were treated for minor injuries.
Authorities arrested 18-year-old John Turbo of Richmond Hill. He’s facing several charges, including assault with a weapon and robbery, among other offences. He’s scheduled to appear in court on June 14.
Two other men remain wanted, and their images have been released.
