Excavator damages Scarborough Scotiabank in possible break-in attempt: police
An excavator damaged a Scotiabank and wrecked a neighbouring building in Scarborough on Monday in what police say appears to be an attempted break and enter.
The incident happened overnight at a plaza near Port Union Road and Fanfare Avenue. Officers responded to reports of heavy machinery into a bank around 2:50 a.m., Toronto police spokesperson Laurie McCann said in an email Monday.
When officers arrived, the machine was still there but suspects had already taken off, she said.
The suspects did not gain entry to the bank, McCann said. There were no injuries.
Police are still on scene on Monday, she said.
Images from the plaza on Monday appear to show the excavator lodged in the roof of the bank. The roof is partially caved in, with significant debris scattered on the ground.
McCann said another building was damaged in the incident.

Create Account Acting Durham Regional Police Staff Sgt. Joanne McCabe told reporters at the scene Monday that cops were called to the location on Westney Rd. around 11:30 p.m. '(They) located a male in his 20s suffering from gunshot wounds,' she said. He was transported to a Toronto-area trauma centre where he died. No other information on the victim has been released. Investigators believe the incident occurred between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. and are looking at least one male suspect who fled the area on foot, she said. 'At this point, it's believed to be an isolated and targeted incident,' McCabe added. S ince it could have been busy at the station at the time of the shooting, there is potential for witnesses. 'We're asking if anyone saw anything suspicious, anything out of the ordinary, anything that they they we should know, to come forward.' Investigators are also reviewing video surveillance video. While service was continuing at the Ajax GO lot on Monday morning, commuters were told to expect some delays and some limitation on parking availability. Anyone with information is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers. jstevenson@ Toronto & GTA Toronto Maple Leafs Sunshine Girls MLB Sunshine Girls
