Three arrested in string of store robberies at Bloor and Dufferin
Police charge suspects in two May robberies at the same location, recovering $12,000 in stolen property.
Toronto police have arrested three people in connection with two robberies at the same store near Bloor and Dufferin in May, with officers recovering significant stolen merchandise during follow-up searches.
Police allege the suspects entered the store twice — on May 22 and May 27 — stealing merchandise valued over $5,000 each time. After executing multiple search warrants across Toronto on May 28, officers recovered $12,000 in stolen property.
Shikoya Salmon, 35, and Deneika Thompson, 37, both Toronto residents, were arrested Monday and each charged with two counts of theft over $5,000. Nikki Kelly, 37, also from Toronto, was arrested Wednesday and faces two counts of theft over $5,000 and four counts of possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.
All three are scheduled to appear in court on August 26. The quick recovery of stolen goods suggests the investigation moved swiftly from initial reports to charges.
