Police in 53 Division are warning of what appears to be an increase in break-ins with the arrival of better weather. It is a fairly annual occurrence for homes in midtown and especially the South Bayview neighborhoods of Leaside, Davisville, Moore Park, Thorncliffe Park, Rosedale, Summerhill and nearby areas to see this increase in crime. The current concern is marked by entry through unlocked back doors at night. Homeowners are being advised to make sure that doors and windows are locked and alarms activated before they go to bed. Homeowners are also being advised to ensure that their vehicles and bicycles are locked and secured. Homeowners are also encouraged to register their bicycles online with the Toronto Police Service. Questions can be directed to Crime Prevention Officers Constables Timothy Somers at 416-808-5337 or Alex Li at 416-808-5308.
