Toronto Police Service (TPS) has arrested 10 individuals, including six teenagers, in relation to a series of armed robberies at dozens of pharmacies.
The arrests are the result of an investigation dubbed Project Mayhem, which has led to 60 charges laid in relation to 26 armed robberies that took place across the Greater Toronto Area between Dec. 8, 2022, and Feb. 10, 2023, TPS said in a statement on Feb. 15.
Among the ten arrests, six were youth under the age of 18 years old, including two youths who were only 14 years of age.
