“It just seems that this is a crime of opportunity, and the end game is profit,” Insp. Richard Harris of the holdup squad told reporters outside Toronto Police Headquarters Tuesday. “So whether it's a new trend that is believed to be something that's gonna make quick money, I'm gonna say and suggest that they stop. We will not stop.”
Police did not officially confirm that Marner was the victim in the incident, saying only that a man and a woman in their 20s were robbed at gunpoint for their Land Rover. “We’re actively working to establish any links and dedicated investigators, trust me when I tell you, are working on this feverishly and continue to review any and all evidence that we have so far,” he said.
At about the same time of night two days earlier, two male suspects attempted to carjack a woman in the same area but were not successful.It is not yet known if the two incidents are connected. He added that the police were aware of his concern and multiple investigations are underway into the violent incidents.
"I don’t really think you can do anything in that situation," he said. "How are you supposed to know that people are going to be waiting for you. Going to the movies like that might be the last place I’d think somebody would come. You have to be alert but I don’t think there’s much you can do if someone comes after you like that."on Saturday night with a heartbreaking 2-1 loss in Game 7 against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Some of the comments here are so cruel… whether he’s a celebrity or not, he was put in a scary situation by these carjackers. Yes, he had his car stolen and we know he can afford another one, but he was violated by these thieves. Hopefully, the police can nab these guys soon.
Toronto is becoming a shit hole.
My friend got his car jacked, why is he not on the news? Ah, Mitch plays for the Leafs, where if they didn’t choke he never would have been car jacked.
Pro tip unmarked car with swat officer driving high end SUV, follow carjackers with drone, takedown with armored vehicle
Criminal laws in Canada are a “ JOKE” ! No criminal is afraid of the law in Canada! Crime happens because of the above statement!
They prob stole his golf Clubs as well. Those bad boys were ready to go this time of year
Any GPS tracker built into the car? I’m assuming it was disassembled at some point? People need to start hiding an Apple iTag in their cars and track it on their phones!!
JohnTory is on top of it so don’t worry folks. He called it a plague and made his concerns to the chief. CarJackingTO is what he’s going to call it.
Broad daylight. No descriptions? 🤔
'Crime of opportunity'
And there will still be nothing done about it. Cops and Govt. look so helpless with this. How is this happening so widely and the cars leaving the country
No it’s more than just a crime of “opportunity”. Try again.
On a good note no Stanley Cup rings were taken......
Queensway movie theatre is not even ghetto, i guess because lots of expensive cars parked for owners to watch a movie, its basically under 10 mins from High Park where i live
What are they even doing in south Etobicoke?
Looks like the entire Leaf team got jacked again this year Eh ?
Had to have been the Refs fault
Lmao. yeah, it’s a crime of opportunity and definitely not a bunch of sophisticated carjacking rings that have them on ships by the end of the day.
Your politicians in power have no intention of stopping crime. JohnTory has failed the city
So, two days earlier same spot, carjacking attempt. One would think dedicating one squad car and two officers to be visible in this parking lot for a few days would be a smart move..😳😳😳
So is this getting coverage because it was a celebrity?
