Toronto Police say the first robbery occurred at a business near Finch Ave. and Weston Rd. around 12 p.m. on July 9.
One bandit gained entry to the store and held the door for the three others, police said, explaining one of the robbers pointed a firearm at the victims, racked the gun and fired it five times.
The crooks stole cash and cellphones, then fled in a vehicle.
