Four men are sought after allegedly posing as potential buyers of a laptop and robbing the sellers earlier this month.

Toronto Police say officers responded to a robbery in the area of Bermondsey Rd. and Eglinton Ave. E. just after 12:30 a.m. on Nov. 4.

Two men who were trying to sell a laptop computer had arranged to meet up with a potential buyer about an hour earlier, police said.

The victims were met by four men who assaulted them, stole the laptop., then forced the pair into a vehicle and drove them to another location to withdraw money from an ATM.

The four bandits then fled the area in a vehicle believed to be a black Mercedes SUV with an Ontario license plate CRRH 525.

Police said the victims suffered minor injuries.

Investigators have released security camera images of four suspects hoping the public can help to identify them.
