Officers were called to a home in the area of ​​Steeles Avenue East and Grandview Avenue around 4 a.m. on Oct. 28 for reports of a home invasion.

Investigators say five suspects entered the residence by breaking down a back door with a hammer.

The stolen BWM was recovered in the area of ​​Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue, and the stolen Ferrari was recovered in the area of ​​Highway 50 and Fogal Road in the city of Brampton, police said.

On Oct. 30, officers executed a search warrant at a residence in Vaughan while searching for an additional suspect. The suspect was not at the residence at the time, but was later arrested in Pickering.

The three suspects who were arrested are 15, 16 and 17 years old. All face charges of armed robbery, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000 and disguise with intent.
