The third robbery reportedly occurred in a parking garage of an apartment building near Dundas Street and Scarlett Road at around 1:40 a.m.
Police say a suspect vehicle followed a motorist into an underground parking garage, threatened the victim with a gun, and shots were fired. A bag and other property were taken from the victim.
