the suspects took cash that the victim had in his hand and the victim quickly jumped into the car and tried to close the door
when the victim could not get the car door closed, he got out and fled from the suspects

the same suspects later gained entry into a residence through a back patio door in the Dufferin Street and Queen Street West area
the residents were not home
the suspects took personal items and left through the side door
