Toronto police are searching for a man who allegedly stole a person’s wallet and another’s bank cards and made withdrawals from their bank account.

The first incident happened on Nov. 29, 2025 when the victim attended a financial institution in central Etobicoke, near The East Mall and Burnhamthorpe Road.

Investigators say a man walked closely to a male and stole their wallet from his pocket.

The suspect was last seen walking northbound on The East Mall, police said.

The second incident occurred on Jan. 30, 2026.

Police say the same suspect approached another person in a parking lot near Dundas Street West and Burnhamthorpe Road and told them that there was a problem with their car.

Once out of their vehicle, the suspect removed the victim’s bank cards from the car. He then allegedly attended a financial institution in the area and made withdrawals from the victim’s bank account.

The suspect is described as a male, 50 to 70 years-old, and five-foot-nine to five-foot-10 with a white beard. He was last seen a dark jacket and sunglasses.
