A shocking video of an armed robbery in Thornhill shows a man being robbed and pulled from his vehicle by three assailants.

Investigators with the York Regional Police hold-up unit are looking for three suspects and appealing for witnesses following a violent robbery in Thornhill earlier this week.

On Tuesday around 5:10 p.m., police were called to a commercial plaza in the area of Yonge Street and Meadowview Avenue.

A video of the robbery shows the victim driving through the plaza when his vehicle is boxed in by a white Lexus sport utility vehicle (SUV) and a white, four-door Mercedes-Benz.

Three suspects are seen exiting their vehicles, pulling the victim from his car and assaulting him.

The suspects are then seen stealing a black, carry-on-style suitcase containing cash from the victim’s vehicle.
