Suspects surrender to end Christmas standoff

A Christmas Day standoff between police and armed robbery suspects ended last night around midnight when two men surrendered to hostage negotiators.
The standoff that began at around 3 p.m. on Christmas Day ended nine hours later when Peel Regional Police handed over two men to Toronto police.
Peel police believed the people inside a home on Lakeshore Rd. W, west of Dixie Rd., had been involved in a home invasion in Etobicoke earlier in the day.
Police called in the tactical and canine units in case the suspects were armed.
The hostage negotiator talked with the suspects over the phone until they surrendered.
Four people, including three men and a woman, were taken to nearby 12 Division for questioning. Two men were later handed over to Toronto police.
Peel police did not file any charges.
