Victim speaks out after dramatic police takedown of York Region carjacking suspects
A man who was the victim of an armed carjacking in Markham, Ont., is speaking out about his harrowing experience after police released video of the dramatic takedown of the suspects.
“The gun he pointed at my stomach is loaded - so I’m glad I’m still alive,” the man, who did not want to be identified, said.
An 18-year-old man and a male youth, from Toronto, were charged with a number of offences including two counts of robbery with a firearm, two counts of disguise with intent, possession of a loaded restricted firearm, dangerous operation and flight from police.
Catherine McDonald reports.

We need bail reform and a minimum sentence for the theft.
Maybe the car companies should make their GPS tracking services available for free, instead of hundreds of dollars a year.

We had our slightly used 2022 Acura RDX stolen last year a few weeks after it was bought. Acura refused to locate it despite the fact that the previous owner paid for the service for the year. If it wasn’t for Toronto Police services intervening, we would have never had gotten it back. We now have not only Acura’s gps locator but our insurance’s gps locator installed as well. The worst part was that Acura took 10 months to repair the damages all while we had to continue paying for insurance

What is it going to take for the Liberal Government to take bail reform seriously? I don't understand the mentality of our Liberal government when Canadians of all political sides believe in bail reform!

The federal government is responsible for enacting criminal law, while provincial and territorial governments are responsible for the administration of justice, including most bail hearings and enforcement of bail conditions, as well as for most remand facilities. Sounds like you mean the provincial government

I don’t blame them. It’s getting out of control and there are no consequences. That’s horrible, you come out to get food and your getting robbed. Ppl are scared to go out and enjoy themselves nowadays.

Criminals have it made these days. No jail time. No mugshots on TV. No consequences whatsoever.
The cops arrest them just to show the public that they doing their job . They don’t take them to jail they just drop them off at Tim Hortons 😂.
Put him away for 15 years. No point giving leniency to these criminals. Bail and then keep on breaking the law.
I’m coming to the conclusion, the government specifically the police dept needs to reimburse the victims if the person they release on bail commits the same crime…
You got love Old Wild Wild West justice.
system is broken no more bailed for him where he get guns
Not the Toronto, Canada that I knew back in the 70's 80's and 90's, I believe the justice system became Nutella soft and sweet to criminals.
