Officers allege one suspect produced a handgun and demanded the victim’s car keys before taking them and driving away from the scene in the vehicle. They add the suspects’ red vehicle drove off in tandem.

Police said they quickly responded to the area and found three vehicles parked together – one was the victim’s, and the other was the red vehicle seen earlier.

Officers saw four male suspects near the vehicles and brought them into custody. They allege that at the time of their arrests, police recovered items of evidentiary value related to the investigation, but police did not specify what they were.

In a release issued Wednesday, police announced four men – two from Milton, one from Hamilton and the other from Bradford – are facing a multitude of charges.
