Two men have been charged in connection with an alleged violent home invasion in Mississauga that saw the accused pose as service employees and tie up two people who were at the residence at the time of the robbery.

Peel Regional Police (PRP) said that on November 18, the victim, a young child and a domestic worker were at a residence near Lakeshore Road and Lorne Park Road when two suspects, posing as employees of local services, knocked on the front door.

The victim answered the door and police said the suspects, armed with guns, forced their way into the home and made demands for valuables.

Police said the victim and employee were bound and gagged during the robbery until it was interrupted by a neighbor. The two suspects fled in a vehicle driven by a third accomplice.

The victim suffered minor physical injuries. The child was not injured.

Two accused men were out on bail

Authorities were able to identify two of the three suspects, and on November 21, one of them was located at a federal parole facility in Toronto and taken into custody. The second suspect was later arrested in Mississauga without incident.

Zain-Alaben Al-Khaleby, 29, of Toronto, faces charges including robbery with a firearm, wearing a disguise with intent, two counts of possession of opioids and three counts of possession of a weapon of fire contrary to order.

Police said Al-Khaleby was a parolee who was living in a federal parole facility in Toronto at the time of the crime and was serving a four-year sentence for firearms and robbery-related convictions. The accused was also bound over by separate weapons banning orders with conditions not to possess any weapons.

El Farough Salih, 27, of Mississauga, was charged with robbery with a firearm, three counts of failure to comply with a release order, two counts of possession of property obtained by crime and three counts of charge of possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Police said Salih was bound over on a release order on several drug and firearms charges, and part of his release conditions required him to undergo GPS monitoring.

The investigation is ongoing and police said more charges could be filed. Authorities have not shared any information or a description of the third suspect.
