Toronto police are investigating two incidents of what they believe are hate-motivated arsons in North York, including one near a synagogue.
A silver or grey coloured car approached a sign, and a person set it on fire, police said. The vehicle was last seen travelling south.
Police have released a video showing a person exiting a car and approaching a sign. Shortly after, the person runs back to the vehicle and drives away. “The arsons are being investigated as suspected hate-motivated arsons based on the messaging on the signs,” said police, adding that one of the signs was on the property of a synagogue.FILE - A Toronto Police Service logo patch is shown in Toronto, on Tuesday, Sept. 5, 2023.
