Early morning raids numbering perhaps as many as 30 were carried out by Toronto Police today. They have netted what cops call “extremely significant amounts of property”. Police swooped down in widespread locales around dawn –Toronto, York Region and Niagara Region — in what they named Operation Yellowbird. An expensive yellow porsche was stolen early in the investigation. Police recovered 23 vehicles worth as much as $2 million. It’s alleged those involved in the break-ins stole jewelry, electronics and luxury goods as well as high-value vehicles. Heavily armed tactical officers were involved in the early-morning raids. A news conference is scheduled for Thursday with more information.
