THREE CHARGED FOR VIOLENT STREET LEVEL ROBBERY IN MARKHAM

Posted on Monday March 17, 2025

Investigators with the York Regional Police #5 District Criminal Investigations Bureau have charged three suspects in connection with a violent robbery in the City of Markham.

On Wednesday, March 12, 2025, at approximately 5 p.m., police responded to a parking lot in the area of Woodbine Avenue and Yorktech Drive for a report of a robbery. When officers arrived at the scene, it was learned that the victim had attended the location to sell several high-end shoes to a buyer he met online.

While showing the items, four suspects, including the buyer, violently assaulted the victim. The suspects then fled with the victim’s jewelry, wallet and three pairs of shoes.  One suspect brandished a knife during the robbery.

Investigators have since charged three male suspects in relation to the robbery. Investigators are seeking public assistance and are appealing for additional witnesses, as one suspect remains outstanding. 

Charged:

  • Ethan LUONG, 21, of the City of Vaughan

Charge:

  • Armed Robbery
 
  • Daniel Dinh LE, 22, of the City of Vaughan
 
  • Arjun SHARMA,24, of the City of Vaughan

The investigation is ongoing.

York Regional Police want to remind everyone using buy-and-sell websites to take steps to ensure their transactions are safe. Always meet in a public place, such as your local police station. Bring someone with you and if you can, find a location that has security cameras for extra protection. If something seems too good to be true, it usually is. Use common sense and trust your gut. If you don’t feel comfortable with the situation, then don’t show up for the meeting.
