Two Men Charged After Escorts Robbed: London Police
London Police have laid charges in connection with three alleged robberies of local escorts.
Investigators say the female escorts were targeted over the long weekend in three separate incidents. Officers say each of the women went to a different address in response to a reply to an online ad and one of the victims suffered minor injuries.
Investigators say two of the alleged incidents took place on Sunday, August 3rd, one at 10:53 a.m. and the other at 7:14 p.m. while the third alleged robbery was reported on Monday, just before midnight.
As a result of the investigation, London Police arrested and charged 22-year-old Thomas Lako and 20-year-old Amar Youssef, both of London, on Wednesday, August 6th. They each face the following counts under the Criminal Code of Canada:
?Robbery, contrary to section 343(b);
?Two counts of armed robbery, contrary to section 343(d);
?Two counts of assault with a weapon, contrary to section 267(a);
?Two counts of weapons dangerous, contrary to section 88(1); and
?Uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, contrary to section 264.1(1)(a).
Officers say Amar Youssef has also been charged with another count of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, contrary to section 264.1(1)(a) and possess prohibited weapon, contrary to section 92(2) of the Criminal Code of Canada.
Investigators say they?re committed to providing a safe and secure community and feel it is important for women engaged in escort services to be aware of these incidents.
