A brazen break-in has shaken a Beaches community, leaving residents on edge after thieves targeted a condominium building two weeks ago. Investigators are now urgently seeking the public’s help to identify two suspects believed to be responsible for the theft of personal belongings from the building’s underground parking garage.
Police released images of the pair, hoping someone will recognize them. The first suspect is described as a man approximately 35 years old, standing around 5-foot-11 with a medium build. He was last seen wearing a white baseball hat, grey sweater, and blue jeans, carrying a black backpack and black shoes with distinctive white soles.
The second suspect’s age is currently unknown, but he also has a medium build. He was observed wearing a black jacket, grey hoodie, and dark blue jeans, complemented by a red flat-brimmed hat and dark-colored shoes with white soles. A light grey backpack completed his attire.
In a separate case, a Toronto police officer has been suspended with pay following allegations of unauthorized access to private police databases. Const. Abbas Popal, a 25-year-old member of 55 Division, faces charges related to accessing the databases on multiple occasions between January 2024 and April 2025.
Authorities have stressed this case is distinct from the ongoing “Project South” corruption probe, which involves separate allegations of data breaches and other serious crimes. The investigation into Popal’s alleged actions is ongoing, raising concerns about data security within the force.
Tragedy struck in Etobicoke last week when a 41-year-old man succumbed to injuries sustained after being hit by a pickup truck. The collision occurred near Lakeshore Blvd. W. and Brow Dr. around 7:45 p.m. on March 12th, leaving the victim in life-threatening condition.
The man was crossing Lakeshore Blvd. W. when he was struck by a white pickup truck traveling eastbound. Despite being rushed to a trauma centre, he tragically died in hospital on Monday. The driver of the pickup remained at the scene and is cooperating with investigators.
A significant victory for law enforcement came with the arrest of a man accused of sex trafficking a woman in Oshawa. Details surrounding the arrest remain limited, but the apprehension marks a crucial step in combating this heinous crime and protecting vulnerable individuals.
Finally, Durham Regional Police are searching for a 35-year-old Brampton man, Sahil Thakur, wanted on fraud charges. He allegedly defrauded an investor out of $200,000 by falsely claiming to be establishing a trucking business with a $1-million bank loan and secured contracts.
Investigators discovered the bank contacts and business contracts were entirely fabricated, and no loan was ever issued. Thakur is now wanted for multiple fraud-related offenses, and anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is urged to contact authorities.
