A 27-year-old Brampton man is facing a raft of criminal charges after a grandmother reported she was held at gunpoint while driving her grandchildren in the city earlier this week.

Peel Regional Police say that at 8:10 p.m. on Wednesday, a woman was driving her two grandchildren, ages 7 and 8, in the Rathmore Street and Calderstone Road area of Brampton.

A suspect carrying a compact black handgun approached her while she was parked and allegedly pointed the gun at her, demanding her belongings.

He then allegedly ordered her out of the vehicle but she refused and instead started to drive.

“The victim was eventually able to break free from the suspect and police were contacted,” police said on Friday.

No one was injured in the encounter and nothing was taken.

Police identified a suspect the next day and at 10:20 a.m. Thursday, they conducted a search on a home in Brampton.

They arrested a man they identified as Ibrahim Ahmed Abdi.

A .40 calibre Taurus handgun was allegedly found at the scene.

Abdi was charged with offences including three counts of forcible confinement, robbery, pointing a firearm, possession of a loaded prohibited firearm and failure to comply with a release order.

He appeared in court in Brampton for a bail hearing.

Investigators are asking anyone with dash cam or other surveillance footage of the Rathmore Street and Calderstone Road area between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Wednesday to contact them.

Multiple people have injuries following a drive-by shooting in Scarborough overnight, Toronto police say.

Officers responded to reports of a drive-by shooting in a parking lot in the area of Markham Road and Lawrence Avenue East, at around 1 a.m. on Saturday.

Four men were found at the scene with gunshot wounds, police said.

Five people are injured following a drive-by shooting in the area of Markham Road and Lawrence Avenue East in Scarborough.

Two of the victims were taken to a local hospital and the other two were transported to a trauma centre.

A fifth male victim also made his own way to hospital, police said. All of the victims sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

The victims are between 28 and 35 years old.

Police said the suspects reportedly fled the scene in a blue car but no further suspect information has been released.

Const. David Hopkinson said it’s fortunate that the brazen shooting didn’t have a worse outcome.

“We do have and we have located bullet holes in other cars and in other areas surrounding this. Had there been other people standing nearby they could have easily been struck by the stray bullets and that could have ended very tragically,” he told CP24 Saturday morning.

We're very very lucky. I say lucky- we have five victims in hospital- but we're lucky that more people did not get hurt.”

I can only depend on Jamaica House on Finch, everywhere else is so inconsistent or not worth trying.

Went to Rasta Pasta as I haven't been in over a decade. :trash: Light sauce on Jerk chicken and it's swimming in it. Jerk chicken was cooked but flavorless. I need to check my food before I leave
