At around 3:45 a.m. on July 8, the victim and a friend stopped to pick up two men in the Jane and Finch area.

A short time later, one of the two men held a firearm against the head of the driver and demanded the keys.

The suspects were last seen driving away in the victim’s car.

While executing a search warrant on July 24, members of the Toronto Police hold-up squad arrested four Toronto men: Leshawn Biggart, 21, Tafari Greene, 23, Jason Seymour, 18, and Darnell Vassal, 22.

Police also seized two handguns, a replica handgun, ammunition and fentanyl.

At the time, the second alleged carjacker was still at large, but on Thursday, police discovered their suspect — 19-year-old Nathan Glenn Osman of Toronto — had been arrested on an unrelated matter.
