''A man, a woman, a 12-year-old girl, and three teenage boys have been charged in connection with two armed robberies in Toronto earlier this year.

On Friday, Toronto police said the armed robberies happened at two stores in the area of Van Horne and Victoria Park avenue on Jan. 2 and Jan. 5.

In the first incident, police allege two female suspects walked into the store and asked to buy cigarettes.

Four male suspects then ran into the store and rushed behind the checkout counter, where one of them allegedly took out a handgun and demanded the register be opened.

Toronto police allege they assaulted the employee by striking him in the head multiple times before taking an undisclosed quantity of cash and various items from the store’s shelves and fleeing.

Days later, police said they responded to a company alarm call in the same area.

This time, officers allege three male suspects walked into a store wearing masks to hide their identities. One of them allegedly brandished a handgun, pointed it at the employee, and ordered the cash register be opened.

In this incident, police allege another of the male suspects took out a can of pepper spray and discharged it at the employee. Then they took some cash and cigarettes, before fleeing the area, police say.''
