Two women and a man face charges and a loaded handgun was seized in connection with a break-and-enter at a residence in Riverdale last week.

Another man is still sought for the violent incident.

Toronto Police say officers responded to a call for a break-and-enter near Danforth and Greenwood Aves. Around 8:25 p.m. on Oct. 16.

“It is alleged that four suspects attended a residence in the area,” police alleged in a statement released Wednesday. “The suspects began banging on the door, causing damage.”

“When the victim didn’t answer the door, one suspect produced a firearm,” police claim.

Four suspects fled in a vehicle

Police said the four people then fled the area in a dark-coloured vehicle.

Members of the 55 Division Major Crime Unit subsequently executed a Criminal Code Search Warrant at a Toronto residence on Monday.

“As a result of the search warrant, officers located and arrested two suspects, as well as a loaded Glock 45 handgun and an extended magazine,” police said.

Kaitlyn Whitfield, 20, and Kayshawana Herbert, 20, both of Toronto, are each charged with possession of a loaded, prohibited or restricted firearm; possession of a firearm without holding a license; possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon knowing no authority; careless storage of a firearm; possession of a prohibited firearm knowingly not holding a license; possession of prohibited ammunition; and possession of a prohibited device.

A third suspect was later located and taken into custody on Monday.

Hunt on for fourth suspect

Waris Sahim, 19, of Ajax, is charged with break-and-enter with intent. 

One male suspect remains outstanding.

Investigators have identified him as 18-year-old Andre Herbert and they have released an image of him hoping members of the public can help track him down.

The Toronto man is wanted for two counts uttering threats, carrying a concealed weapon, pointing a firearm, use of a firearm during the commission of an indictable offence and attempted break-and-enter.

He’s described as 5-foot-10, with a thin build and clean shaven.

Anyone with information regarding the wanted man’s whereabouts, or this investigation, is urged to call police at 416-808-5500 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
