3 suspects followed victim out of a bank, stole her money: Toronto police

Toronto police have released images of three people suspected of following a victim out a bank and stealing her money in the city’s west end.

Toronto police are searching for three suspects who allegedly followed a female out of a bank in the city’s west end then stole her money.

The incident happened on Feb. 26 near Dufferin Street and Eglinton Avenue West.

Police say they were called to that area for a theft call.

They say the victim had attended a nearby bank and withdrew a large sum of money, placing it in the basket of her walker.

The suspects then allegedly followed the victim to a nearby fast food restaurant.

Investigators say the first and third suspects then distracted the victim by sitting nearby and engaging in conversation while blocking her view.

“During the distraction, Suspect Two stole the victim’s recently withdrawn money,” police said.

All three suspects then fled the area with the victim’s property.

The first suspect is described as a male, who was last seen wearing a green/gray scarf over his face, a green tartan hat, a black winter coat, dark pants, and dark shoes.

The second is a female, who was last seen wearing a black winter jacket, a scarf over her face, and brown leg warmers.

The third suspect is also a female, who wore a black long puffer coat, a gray knit hat, tan boots, a medical mask, and a dark cross body purse.

This investigation is ongoing and anyone with further information is asked to contact Toronto police at 416-808-1300 or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
