PC David Hopkinson at Toronto Police Operations has confirmed a major police operation in North Leaside Tuesday evening related to car thefts. Posts to Leaside Community tell of many scout cars and two police communications units in the Ryert Blvd area. One thief was caught after what appears to have been a chase. Apparently, the man now in custody was stopped at the bottom of Broadway Ave at Rykert by the entrance to Serena Gundy Park. Nowhere to go, at least not in a car. Another person fled south. Much police activity seemed to focus on Don Avon Dr. nearer Eglinton Ave. PC Hopkinson said he expects there will be a release issued Wednesday on the operation.
