Police searching for suspects in east-end tow truck shootings

Toronto police are looking for suspects involved in multiple tow-truck-related shootings and firearm discharges that took place in the city’s east end over the past 24 hours.

Officers responded to eight weapon-discharge incidents that are tow-truck related between Saturday at 2 a.m. and Sunday at 7:45 p.m. in Scarborough, police said in a news release Sunday.

The suspect vehicle went to eight separate locations with the rear passenger allegedly firing shots multiple times at the victims’ addresses, according to the release.

Investigators say they believe the suspect vehicle is the same stolen vehicle involved in all the shootings.

There are no reports of people struck, but several vehicles and residences were hit.

Officials say the suspect or suspects fled the scene in a stolen dark, newer model, four-door, Honda CRV.
