Three men have been arrested after a transport truck full of gumballs was hijacked in the city’s east end early Monday morning - almost a week before Halloween.
Police were called to Oak Leaf Confectionary on Sinnot Rd. in the Eglinton Ave. E. and Warden Ave. area around 5:30 a.m. after thieves attacked a truck driver from behind and stole his truck full of candy valued at more than $40,000.
The driver was punched in the face and in the body and then was almost forced into the trunk of a car, police said. He made his escape by fighting off his attackers.
The suspects fled in three separate vehicles, with one of them behind the wheel of the transport truck, police added.
