Early Morning Terror in Scarborough

In a shocking turn of events, a peaceful Scarborough neighborhood was rocked by a violent home invasion early Friday morning. At around 2:15 a.m., emergency crews raced to a townhouse near Finch Avenue East and McCowan Road following reports of a break-and-enter.

A Brazen Attack

According to police, several suspects armed with hammers barreled through the back door of the residence. Once inside, the nightmare escalated as one victim was brutally struck with a hammer and threatened with a knife, while others were horrifically zip-tied.

Injuries and Shock

In the aftermath, one victim suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was rushed to the hospital, alongside another individual with minor injuries. The exact number of victims inside remains unclear, adding an air of uncertainty to this already unsettling incident.

Descriptions of the Suspects

Police are on high alert, describing the suspects as males aged between 20 and 30, all dressed in dark clothing. Eyewitness reports indicate that one suspect spoke with an Indian accent, while another had a distinct Guyanese accent. Authorities are warning the public that these individuals are considered armed and dangerous.

Community Reactions

In a chilling account from a neighboring resident, he expressed how the invasion shattered their perception of safety: 'It’s very scary because we thought that this was a very nice place to live. When you hear this next door, something like this happens, it scares you.'

Police Appeal for Information

As the investigation unfolds, police are urging anyone with information to contact them immediately. The community is anxiously awaiting answers, hoping to restore a sense of safety in their once-peaceful neighborhood.
