A Toronto city councillor fought a suspected thief outside a Home Depot on Wednesday and, with help from two other shoppers, held the man on the ground until police arrived.
Coun. Jon Burnside, who was a police officer from 1991 to 2001, told the Star that he was going into the store on Wicksteed Avenue in Leaside just before 9 a.m. when he saw two men wearing face masks pushing out shopping carts full of what looked like expensive tools.
