GUELPH – An Etobicoke man has been arrested in relation to a robbery which took place in Guelph in 2019. During the robbery, four people were zip-tied and assaulted.
Police say just before 6 p.m. November 19th, 2019, four suspects entered a business near Edinburgh Road South and Stone Road West. Three employees and a customer were detained in a back room before the suspects fled with more than $40,000 worth of cellphones.
One of the suspects was ultimately identified through a DNA sample collected from one of the zip ties used to bind an employee. He is currently in custody on outstanding robbery and weapons offences in other jurisdictions.
Police say a 23-year-old Etobicoke man is charged with robbery and forcible confinement in relation to the Guelph incident.
He will appear in a bail court in April.
