Police arrested a youth and are looking for four young men in a year-old case of a woman who was forced at gunpoint to withdraw funds from her bank accounts.
The 16-year-old was identified and charged while in custody for other charges.
In October 2007, five men abducted a 61-year-old woman as she arrived at her Brimley Rd. and Steeles Ave. home shortly before midnight.
The men threw her to the ground, demanded her keys and a suspect armed with a handgun forced her into the back of her vehicle. They drove her to a number of bank machines.
Police describe the remaining four suspects as male, black, ranging in age from late teens to early twenties.
