The Toronto Police Service would like to make the public aware of two break-and-enters in the Bayview Avenue and Moore Avenue area.
Police are seeking the public's assistance identifying a man wanted for these incidents.
In early September 2014, a man, 30, heard suspicious activity coming from a neighbour's home.
It is reported that:
- he observed a man running from a home
- he believed the man had broken in
- he called police as the man fled
- officers in the area located a man with a similar description
- the suspect fled on a bicycle when confronted by officers
In mid-September 2014, a man, 54, had returned home from a bicycle ride.
It is reported that:
- he saw a man stealing his bicycle from his back yard
- he chased the suspect
- he was assisted in the chase by other neighbours
- they caught up to the suspect
- the suspect produced pepper spray and sprayed them
- he made good his escape
He is described as white, 5'11", 150 lbs., 25-30, black backpack, grey jeans, grey T-shirt, orange scarf and a bucket-style hat.
Two photographs of the suspect are now released. They are poor quality but the best investigators currently have. Police believe him to be violent and dangerous. Do not approach. If located, call 9-1-1.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-5300, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), online at www.222tips.com, text TOR and your message to CRIMES (274637), or Leave A Tip on Facebook.
