Students returning from reading week were greeted by the ninth armed robbery in what seems to be a crime-ridden school year.
Toronto police are investigating after a York student reported an armed robbery off-campus, west of Boot Terrace and The Village.
The student was approached by three suspects, one of whom produced a handgun and took the student’s wallet and cell phone, according to the bulletin.
One suspect was described as a short-haired male, six-feet-tall, 23 to 25 years of age, 150 pounds, wearing a “college-styled” leather jacket with red accents, pink sunglasses, and blue jeans.
The other two suspects were described as male, five-foot-eight, dressed in dark clothes, blue jeans, and ski masks.
No injuries were reported.
The bulletin is the eighth issued this year for armed robbery and ninth for robberies overall. The pace of reported robberies has dropped in the winter term, with one robbery a month, down from two per month in the fall term.
Robberies, armed and unarmed, have been occurring close to once a month throughout the past school year.
