Toronto Police are warning residents neighborhoods north of Lawrence Ave. about a series of break-ins in recent weeks. They say that homes have been broken into in the area of Bathurst Street to the west, Bayview Avenue to the east, Lawrence Avenue to the south and Highway 401 to the north. The suspects have been gaining entry through the rear of homes and looting the place of small electronics like laptops and tablets. Residents are reminded to secure window and doors. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 416-808-3206, or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477). And although this police warning draws a line along Lawrence Ave., it’s easy to imagine that these criminals could easily find targets to the south of that street.
