The Toronto Police Service is seeking the public's assistance identifying two male suspects wanted for a series of commercial nighttime break-and-enters.
Several occurrences have been reported to police of commercial businesses broken into during the overnight hours, from May 2016 to June 2016. These entries have occurred in the area between Finch Avenue East and Sheppard Avenue East.
It is reported that:
- on Sunday, June 5, 2016, at 12:50 a.m., a man broke into a grocery supply store
- once inside, the man took a small amount of money from the cash register
- the man then went to another unit in the same plaza, where he first tried to pry open the door
- he was unsuccessful, then smashed the glass
- behind the glass were steel bars, which prevented him from gaining entry into the unit
- the man fled the scene
Suspect #1 is described as wearing a blue hoodie, a white bandana with dark patches covering his face, grey pants, and gloves.
It is further reported that:
- on Tuesday, June 7, 2016, at 4:12 a.m., a man smashed the front glass door with a rock
- the man gained entry by climbing through the broken door
- the man targeted the cash area
