Police released this photo, taken from a gas station surveillance camera, of one of the swarming suspects.

Police are seeking to identify three suspects after a swarming on Gladstone Avenue.

On Aug. 10, at about 9 p.m., a lone male was sitting on his porch along the 700 block of Gladstone Avenue when three males approached him.

The suspects, police say, began intimidating the victim and became physically aggressive. The victim was punched to the face and fled to a nearby gas station. One of the suspects pursued the man into the station and was captured by a surveillance camera. When the victim eventually returned to his residence, property had been stolen. Police did not specify the items taken.

The first suspect is described as a white male, with short brown hair, between 25 and 30 years old, standing five-foot-nine, and wearing a black T-shirt.

The second suspect is described as a French-speaking white male, standing five-foot-ten, over 40 years old, with missing front teeth.

The third suspect, who was captured on video, is described as a thin, olive-skinned male, about 20 years old, with dark hair and a small moustache, standing between five-foot-ten and six-foot-one. He wore glasses, jeans, a grey hoodie, and a red and blue Blue Jays baseball cap.
