Toronto's on Fire 🔥: Sus Arson Spree Got the Police Trippin' 🚓

The Tea

Okay, fam, listen up! Toronto PD is on high alert 'cause there's some sus activity going down. Turns out, there have been a couple of arsons (that's fancy for "someone's setting fires, on purpose") in the east end and Scarborough, and the cops think they might be connected. Like, a whole arson crew could be at play, which is a major L for everyone.

First, on May 21st, at like 5:20 AM, three masked figures rolled up to an east-end business near Pape and Fulton Aves. They broke in, lit the place up, and dipped. Three peeps got minor injuries, which is def not the vibe. Witnesses saw them hopping out of a dark-colored SUV. They were rocking dark pants, dark hoodies, masks, and carrying red jerry cans. One of them had a white stripe on their pants, and another had dark shoes with white laces (think Converse, maybe).

Fast forward to Tuesday, and BAM! Another fire, this time at a Greek cafe near Birchmount Rd. and Vauxhall Dr., around 3:18 AM. Same sitch: a dark-colored SUV drops off a lone suspect, who breaks in, sets the place on fire, and ghosts. Luckily, no one got hurt this time. This suspect was also decked out in all-dark everything and carrying a red jerry can, so same fit, different vibe.

The police are saying these two fires might be linked, and they're on the hunt for a newer model dark-colored SUV. They're also investigating two other restaurant fires in Scarborough but think those are unrelated to this chaos. If you've seen anything sus or know something, hit up the police at 416-808-5500, or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-8477 or 222tips.com. Don't be a bystander, fam! Do your part.
