Two women were robbed at gunpoint and left locked up in a portable toilet Saturday night in Toronto.
Three males with guns approached the women in the "Green P" parking lot opposite Chester station on Chester Ave. north of Danforth Ave. about 10:45 p.m.
The women were forced into the back seat of their 1999 silver Toyota and their jewelry and purses were stolen. The women were then driven to two ATM locations to withdraw money.
The suspects then drove them to the Oriole GO train station at Leslie St. and Hwy. 401 and locked them in a portable toilet, in a materials yard off the GO station parking lot. The women escaped and called police.
The three males are all in their late teens to early twenties. One of the suspects has an oval-shaped face, is about 5-foot-7, 140-150 lbs, has a small build and was wearing a blue bandana over his face. He was wearing dark clothing and had a gun.
The second male was 5-foot-7, with a slim build. He wore a red bandana over his face and wore baggy blue jeans.
The third male is described as heavy set. He was wearing blue jeans and white runners and had a silver gun.
It was the third major carjacking incident of the weekend. On Friday night, carjackers assaulted a youth and a married couple in two separate incidents, stealing two cars, jewelry and an undisclosed amount of cash.
In another similar incident Sunday, around noon, a 50-year-old woman was assaulted by a man in the parking lot at the Sherway Gardens shopping mall, at Evans Ave. and The Queensway East in Etobicoke.
Police say the woman was hit on the head with an object and forced to surrender her car keys to the middle-aged assailant, who fled with her gold-coloured Saturn. She suffered minor injuries.
The attacker did not take the victim's credit or debit card, as was the case with the other carjackings.
