Leafs star Marner victim of carjacking

Toronto Maple Leafs allstar Mitch Marner was the victim of a carjacking at gunpoint on Monday night.

“It happened at the Cineplex theatre on The Queensway,” said a police source.

Toronto Police tweeted about a carjacking at The Queensway and Islington Ave. at 7:46 p.m., saying a man was robbed of a Black Range Rover by three suspects with the use of two handguns as well as a knife.

Const. David Hopkinson said, “the suspects have fled in the Range Rover.”

According to a source, Marner was going to a movie with a friend when “the guys approached wearing masks and said they wanted the vehicle. Mitch said, ‘go ahead and take it.”’

“The suspects did not know it was Marner,” said the source. “They were only interested in the Range Rover, which they can quickly sell out of country.”

Police sources say Marner was shaken up but not physically hurt in the disturbing incident, just 48 hours after the team was eliminated from the NHL playoffs.
