As of the Star's deadline early Monday afternoon, the Police had not made public the name of the youth who lived i in Oshawa. The incident began about 3:40 AM Monday when two males armed with a hammer and .32 calibre pistol walked into the offices of Taxi-Taxi at 231 Queen Street East in Oshawa. A driver and dispatcher were in the office at the time, but they were not hurt in the robbery. A quantity of cash was tak- en from a cabinet and two sus- pects fled on foot towards Athol Street. As Police arrived on the scene and began a search of the area, a cabbie radioed that he had spotted activity in the rear yard of an Athol Street home, Just east of Ritson Road. Officers surrounded a back-yard shed where the two suspects were believed hiding and ordered them to come out with their hands raised. A momen tor two later, the officers heard a muffled sound from inside the shed, and when they entered, found two males, one with a gun-shot wound to Saturday, THE WORLD'S BIGGEST BARGAINS will be at the GREAT INTERNATIONAL MERCHANTS' AUCTION Merchandise from all over Port Perry!!!
