Toronto police are investigating two incidents involving Jewish-owned bakeries after they were targeted in suspected hate-motivated attacks. The incidents occurred early Sunday morning, with one location reportedly struck by gunfire and another suffering damage to its windows. No injuries were reported in the separate incidents, according to local authorities.
The affected bakeries are part of the same chain, with both locations located in Toronto. Police have confirmed that the hate crime unit, along with the guns and gangs division, is involved in the investigation. The attacks are being treated as potential hate crimes, given the targeted nature of the vandalism and the use of gunfire at one site.
Authorities have not yet identified a suspect or motive behind the attacks. The incidents have raised concerns within the Jewish community in Toronto, with local leaders calling for increased security and support. Police have urged anyone with information to come forward.
The investigation is ongoing, with officials emphasizing the seriousness of the attacks and the need for community vigilance. (globalnews.ca)
