“Red Ryder Bandits” rob ten west end stores in March, April

These are robberies by three men who hit their targets in numbers of two or three at a time. One of the bandits is armed with a BB gun. This prompted police to  name the felons after a boyhood weapon used by previous generations, the Red Ryder BB gun. The holdups occurred between March 14 and April 11 at ten stores located primarily east of Hwy 27, west of Weston Road and close to Finch Avenue West in the evening. The three men are described as 20-25, 5’8″-6’0″. Their conduct is very menacing as seen in the photo above and the video.
