The Toronto Police Services provided an update on Tuesday on carjacking incidents in the city after Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner became the victim of an armed carjacking on Monday night.
Insp. Rich Harris said police don’t confirm the identities of victims in ongoing investigations, but shortly after the incident, sources confirmed to Global News that Marner was the victim.
Insp. Harris said 60 carjacking incidents were reported in the city since the beginning of 2022, in which suspects targeted high-value vehicles that were sold for profit.
The investigation into Monday night's incident is ongoing. Police said there are three suspects — two with handguns and one with a knife. The suspects fled the scene in the vehicle, police said.
Investigators are working “feverishly” to review all evidence that has been gathered so far.
Harris added that evidence gathered so far suggests it was a “crime of opportunity.”
