In a startling crime spree that has left residents on edge, two men have been apprehended while two others remain fugitives in connection with a series of convenience store robberies across Scarborough, which began in late 2024 and has continued into 2025.

Toronto police have reported that between November 2024 and February 2025, multiple convenience stores were targeted after hours, with properties being forcibly entered. The suspects, known for their brazen tactics, primarily focused on stealing lottery tickets and cigarettes, fleeing the scenes before being caught. This pattern has raised alarm among local business owners who fear for their safety and the security of their establishments.

The arrested individuals have been identified as Lajos Galamb, 24, who has no fixed address, and Asif Iqbal, 44, from Toronto. Both men now face a range of charges, including multiple counts of break and enter and disguise with intent. Asif Iqbal had a court appearance on March 10, while Lajos Galamb is scheduled to face court on an upcoming Wednesday.

Meanwhile, police are actively seeking two additional suspects involved in these robberies: Richard Ando, 27, from Oshawa, and Ference Glonczi, 35, from Mississauga. Authorities have released images of both men as they seek the public’s assistance in tracking them down. Those with any information regarding their whereabouts are urged to step forward.

This string of crimes has sparked discussions about safety measures in the community and the effectiveness of police responses to such crimes. Local citizens are beginning to rally for better security protocols in convenience stores to prevent further incidents.

As the search for the remaining suspects continues, many are left wondering: how can communities protect themselves against such bold criminal activities? Stay tuned for updates as this story develops!
