Two suspects, wearing masks to disguise their identities and one armed with a weapon, approached the victim and made demands for keys and the vehicle. The victim, fearing for his safety, turned over both, and the suspects fled in his car. A third suspect, operating the vehicle used to facilitate the robbery, was stolen from Toronto and also fled. Fortunately, the victim did not sustain any physical injuries as a result of the robbery.
