Four people, two of them teenagers, have been charged after a violent home invasion and kidnapping that began as a staged car crash in the GTA on Monday morning.

One of the accused is a 16-year-old Caledon boy on a previous release order, while another, 21-year-old Shakir Bhatti from Ajax, has already been released on bail.

York Regional Police officers were called to a home near McCowan Road and 14th Avenue on reports of multiple men forcing their way inside and informing the occupants that a family member had been kidnapped.

One of the residents, a 54-year-old man, was shot during the home invasion.

Police later determined that, about an hour earlier, suspects intentionally rammed the vehicle of a 29-year-old woman from the same residence as she was driving near McCowan and Highway 407. According to police, when the woman exited her vehicle to assess the damage, a second vehicle — described as an older model grey Dodge Caravan — rolled up and people within forced her inside, where she was restrained before departing the scene.

Responding officers intercepted the suspects as they tried to flee the house, arresting four people and seizing a loaded firearm. A fifth male suspect, estimated to be between 18 to 25 years old, evaded arrest. A stolen vehicle was also found at the home invasion scene and police say they have reason to believe additional suspects connected to both crimes “remain outstanding.”

Officers were quick to arrive at the residence as the suspects attempted to flee. Four of the suspects were arrested while a fifth suspect remains outstanding. He is described as male, 18 to 25 years of age, wearing dark clothing, a mask and gloves. A loaded firearm was recovered.

Also arrested were Parkaran Panglia, 20, of Brampton and a 17-year-old from Toronto. The four suspects have been charged with attempted murder, conspiracy to commit kidnapping, robbery with a firearm, disguise with intent, and other possession charges.

The kidnapped woman was located in Toronto, having suffered minor injuries, and her vehicle was recovered nearby.

The incident is the latest violent crime to make headlines in the GTA, following two fatal shootings and an arson last weekend.

Conservative Party of Canada Leader Pierre Poilievre posted about the crimes on X.

“Four have been arrested … All enjoying the Liberal free ride for criminals. What has Carney done?” Poilievre wrote.

Police said anyone with information is asked to contact the hold-up unit at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 6630 or contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at calling 1-800-222-TIPS or 1800222tips.com.
