The Toronto Police Service would like to advise the public of eight arrests arising from a residential Break-and-Enter investigation.
Officers were investigating an increased number of residential Break-and-Enters in the fall of 2016. Officers were engaged in Project High Class, which was developed to identify and capture those involved.
Project High Class included, but was not limited to, the geographic area within 22 Division. As the investigation progressed, officers became aware of the same type of occurrences in 11 Division and 43 Division.
It is alleged that:
- eight people were arrested after a residential Break-and-Enter in the
Royal York Avenue and Eglinton Avenue West area
- multiple search warrants were executed and police recovered an estimated $500,000 worth jewelry, expensive handbags, cash, and electronics
