South Bayview alerted to theft of high-end cars

Toronto Police Service has issued a specific warning to residents of neighborhoods adjoining South Bayview  (in 53 Division) with regard to the night-time theft of expensive cars. This year, some 24 such cars have been stolen from homes in Toronto.  Police have video images of one suspect from a break-in the in the high-end Kingsway neighborhood of Etobicoke. These are apparently brazen break-ins which may occur when residents are at home. It hasn’t been said that any car thefts by these thieves have occurred locally but it seems certain that neighborhoods like York Mills, Lawrence Park, Leaside, Moore Park, Rosedale and others would be readily targeted by this ring. Police also remember the elaborate theft of Toyota Highlander vehicles from driveways in Leaside and area in recent years. As in that case, police believe the current stolen cars are probably being smuggled out of the country.
