Toronto police are currently searching for a suspect involved in a violent home invasion earlier this year. On January 22, two men allegedly forced their way into a home in the Kennedy Road and Ellesmere Road area, assaulting one person and stabbing another with a knife before fleeing the scene. Two men, Francisco Garcia Arroyo, 32, and Ricardo Romero Gonzales, 22, have been charged with robbery with a weapon and aggravated assault.

Arroyo was arrested on May 4 and Romero was arrested on July 16. Romero was released on bail with a GPS ankle monitor, but he tampered with or potentially cut off his ankle bracelet, failed to appear for a court date, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Gonzales is described as five-feet-seven inches tall with black hair, brown eyes, and a medium build. Police believe he frequently visits the Jane Street and Wilson Avenue area.
