Two teenagers are facing several charges after allegedly stealing a car that had a young child and baby inside.
Officers were called to the area of Weston Road and Lawrence Avenue West around 3:30 p.m. Thursday after getting reports of a stolen vehicle.
Police said a woman was putting groceries into her car when a 13-year-old male allegedly jumped in the running vehicle and drove away. A four-year-old child and seven-month-old baby were inside at the time.
I used to live in that area back when Lawrence and Weston was like a prosperous small town downtown.
The neighborhood demographics changed as businesses started pulling out or closing, Loblaws, the Beer & the Liquor Store, Beaver Lumber, Countrystyle Donuts and the Odeon movie theatre.
Weston Road never recovered. It’s a ghetto now, shootings, stabbings etc. are a regular occurrence.
All that’s left is crappy dollar stores and vibrant diversity.
