Joshua Hamblett, 23, and Sashauna Wilkins, 23, both of Brampton, were arrested on Dec. 1 and charged with 12 combined offences. The third suspect, Keagan Prophete, was then arrested following the execution of a search warrant on Dec. 18.

A Brampton man, Kristan Peter Miller, 26, is facing more than a dozen charges after he allegedly forced a 17-year-old girl into the sex trade and then used “intimidation, fear” and a firearm to ensure her compliance, police say.

Toronto appears to have hit another record in a year of increased violence. According to police data, the city has recorded 424 shootings in 2018, as of Monday, surpassing the previous high, set in 2016, of 407.

“To think we can arrest our way out of this is a falsehood,” said some guy who claims to be chief of police.
