The Toronto Police Service would like to make the public aware of an arrest in an investigation into a series of Break-and-Enters, Project Spiderman.
It is alleged that:
- between October 2010 and January 2014, a number of high-end homes throughout the GTA were broken into
- millions of dollars of property was stolen including jewellery and watches
It is further alleged that:
- an investigation revealed that a man used an array of sophisticated equipment while breaking into these homes, including flexible spy-cams, parabolic listening devices, and precious-metal testers
- the man often scaled the exteriors and entered the homes through skylights and second-storey windows to avoid alarm systems
On Friday, January 31, 2014, police arrested Shane Gagnon (aka Shane Louis Zwezdararyk), 43, of Bradford, following a pursuit.
To date, he has been charged with:
1) 31 counts of Break-and-Enter
A number of search warrants were executed in the GTA that have allegedly recovered hundreds of stolen items.
Investigators in York and Toronto have compiled photos of all the recovered items to date, and ask victims of break-and-enters to review them for their property. The photos can be viewed at tps.to/spiderman. Please check back periodically as photos will be updated as the investigation progresses.
A dedicated number and email has been set up for anyone who recognizes property. Please call 416-808-3219, or email Gagnon.32Division@TorontoPolice.on.ca
The investigation is ongoing.
