Mercedes carjacking leads police to stolen Porsche; charges for pair from Brampton, Pickering

The gunpoint carjacking of a Mercedes led to a stash of drugs, a stolen Porsche and charges for a pair from Brampton and Pickering, police say.

The armed hold-up happened around 2:40 a.m. on Nov. 5 when York Regional Police say a man was carjacked in the area of Old Kennedy Road and Denison Street in Markham.

Investigators say three suspects approached the victim and pointed a firearm at the man before stealing his 2021 Mercedes G-Wagon.

The carjackers then fled the scene in the Mercedes along with a white BMW SUV being driven by a fourth suspect.

The next day police say the Mercedes was found on a residential street in Mississauga.

Over a month later, police say they searched a home in Brampton in connection to the carjacking where officers found a stash of crack cocaine, fentanyl, heroin and methamphetamine.

Police also recovered a Porsche that had been reported stolen during a home invasion in Toronto.

Two people were arrested and charged with multiple offences.

Suvestan Ganeshamoorthy, 34, of Pickering, and Arunsheeyaah Arulanantham, 29, of Brampton, have been charged with possession of cocaine, crystal meth, heroin and fentanyl, and two counts of possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.

Police say the investigation is ongoing and additional suspects are still at large.
