The incident occurred in an area around Clark Boulevard and Lancaster Boulevard, where three men demanded cash or jewelry from the resident before sending him into his idling vehicle at gunpoint.
Halton police have now charged a 21-year-old in connection with that incident and another home invasion just four days later at a home on Upper Middle Road and Third Line in Oakville.
During that incident, a resident was attacked by two suspects before fleeing in an SUV.
Police say the men were later arrested after the vehicle crashed into a wooden post in Bronte Creek Provincial Park.
The Mississauga man identified in a release now faces a total of 10 charges.
He is charged with robbery with a firearm and theft over $5,000 in each case.
Police are still looking for more suspects in both incidents.
