Cops said the robbery happened in the Finch Ave. E-Warden Ave. area on the evening of Aug. 16.

Police said a lone male suspect knocked on the victim’s apartment door, claiming to be delivering a package.

The victim instructed the suspect to leave the package at the door, and the suspect left the area.

But when the victim opened the door to retrieve the package, police said three suspects forced their way into the apartment and “ransacked the apartment before fleeing with several luxury items.”

They allegedly left in a white third-generation Acura RDX.
