I was interviewed tonight by @CBCToronto, @CTVToronto and @CP24 about the significant increase of break-ins in the Bayview/York Mills area as the President of the @yorkmillsgca. Video and recordings to come. #Ward25 #DVW

A wave of break-ins has occurred this year in York Mills and especially the Bridle Path neighborhood. Police say millions of dollars of loot have been stolen from homes by burglars. They have targeted the area contained by Highway 401, Leslie Street, Lawrence Avenue, and Bayview Avenue. One incident (below) was captured on surveillance video. It shows two men climbing up onto a balcony before entering a home in the area. The pair is seen using the homeowner’s backyard patio furniture to hoist themselves into the home. About $50,000 worth of valuables were taken.York Mills Gardens Community Association
