Neighbourhood Crime Reports

Harbourfront is a Toronto neighbourhood that is located along the shore of Lake Ontario in downtown Toronto. Roughly the boundaries of this neighbourhood are south of Lake Shore Boulevard to the lake, between Yonge Street and Bathurst Street, though some consider the neighbourhood to be larger. The Toronto Harbourfront neighbourhood consists primarily of tall residential condominiums and various commercial areas. Like all Toronto neighbourhoods, there is crime in Harbourfront. There are 3.7 crimes per 1,000 people living and working in the area. That rate is quite low when compared to the rest of the City of Toronto. There are 17.44 crimes against property per 1,000, which is relatively average for the city. Many people feel that, since the area is filled primarily with condominiums, security services such as alarm systems and video surveillance cameras are not necessary. Unfortunately, crime can take place in a large, multi-story building just as it can in a single-family residence. So it is important to protect yourself. Staying safe in a condominium requires having the right security tools at your disposal. Even if your building has a concierge at the front desk or a phone system for controlling who can enter the building, people can still sneak into the property without being noticed. Video surveillance cameras and security guards in all public areas can certainly help this situation. It is also important to protect yourself inside your condominium unit. Having a security system installed in your condo will offer a great deal of protection for you and your family. In Toronto’s Harbourfront neighbourhood, there have been some bizarre crimes recently. In 2010, human remains were found inside a barrel in Lake Ontario near Queens Quay. From CTV:

Toronto police say that human remains encased in concrete have been discovered in Lake Ontario. The concrete and the body are inside a barrel. Police arrived on the scene at around noon, and shortly afterward, the marine unit pulled a rusty barrel out of the water. Officers say that mud and concrete are inside the steel drum, along with the remains of an unidentified person. Police told reporters at the scene that it is obviously a homicide. It isn’t clear, however, how long the barrel was submerged.

In August of 2011, a car riddled with bullets was found abandoned on Lake Shore Boulevard. Police found blood and bullets in the car, but initially no victim. The driver later returned to the scene with serious but non-life threatening injuries. From CBC:

A major portion of Lakeshore Boulevard West has reopened, after a bullet-riddled car with blood-spattered seats was found by the road Tuesday. Both the eastbound and westbound lanes of the busy highway were closed from Ontario Street to Parkside Drive in the morning as investigators surveyed the scene. Thousands of rush-hour commuters were forced to take a detour. The stretch of road reopened around 4 p.m. Tuesday afternoon. Police found shell casings on the ground near the black Lexus sedan and also located the driver.

These instances serve to further highlight that crime can take place almost anywhere. Crime is unpredictable and there is no way to know when or where it will occur. While this fact is unfortunate and even sometimes frightening, you can protect yourself by being aware and alert at all times and by installing professional security equipment in your home and business.

The Toronto Entertainment District is a downtown Toronto neighbourhood. It is concentrated around King Street West, primarily between University Avenue and Spadina Avenue. The northern boundary is generally considered to be Queen Street West and the southern boundary is the Gardiner Expressway. The Toronto Entertainment District is primarily known for its restaurants, bars, clubs and theatres, but recently many large condominiums have been built in the neighbourhood. This has brought many new residents into the area. The number of clubs have generally decreased in recent years as the neighbourhood has become more mixed. In the area between Simcoe Street and Bathurst Street and between Queen Street and Front Street, there is an average of 9.45 crimes against people per 1000 living and working in the area. There is an average of 24.92 crimes against property per 1000. South of Front Street between York Street and Bathurst Street, stretching south to Lake Ontario, there is an average of 3.7 crimes against people per 1000 and 17.44 crimes against property. While this area stretches further west than the Entertainment District, it is a good indicator for crime in the area. Remember, criminals do not stop at certain streets. Crime does not stop because it enters a new neighbourhood. In October 2007, an innocent bystander was injured when he was struck by a stray bullet in the Entertainment District. From Canoe.ca:

Toronto Police were initially called to the Richmond-Peter Sts. area around 3 a.m. for the report of gunshots. They arrived to find one man wounded on the street and hundreds of people running for cover. Karpow said numerous vehicles and businesses, plus one residence, were hit by bullets. A silver car on Adelaide St. was found with a bullet hole in the roof and its back window shot out.

In October 2010 a woman was sexually assaulted in the Entertainment District. According to a Toronto Star report, a 20-year-old woman was “dragged into a laneway around 3 a.m. near Adelaide St. W. and Spadina Ave., assaulted and robbed.” In March of 2010, two men were hospitalized after being stabbed during a fight in the Entertainment District. From CityTV Toronto:

A fight in the city’s entertainment district sent two people to hospital with stab wounds early Saturday morning. The scuffle between two groups broke out at John and Mercer Streets outside the Rockwood Nightclub. Two men were stabbed; one suffered two stab wounds to the chest. The experienced other minor wounds to his arms. Both were taken to local hospitals and are in stable condition.

More recently, in October 2011, three people were stabbed in the Entertainment District around 3am. They were outside of a nightclub at Richmond Street near John Street. A study conducted by the University of Toronto, St. Michael’s Hospital and Ryerson University in 2010 found that “most assault-related calls for ambulances between midnight and 4 a.m. came from the Entertainment District, an area that has had problems with shootings, assaults and drugs,” according to the Toronto Star. Toronto Police have attempted to deter crime in the area by installing security cameras. A statement on the Toronto Police Service website said that “cameras are used strategically to disrupt dangerous and disorderly behaviour.” Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair stated that “we’ve seen a real change in behaviour in the Entertainment District, not just because of cameras… but cameras are one of the tools.” Security cameras are certainly an excellent tool for preventing and deterring crime as well as for catching criminals in the act.

Thorncliff Park is a Toronto neighbourhood that is located in the former borough of East York. Thorncliff Park is one of the most densely populated areas of the city. The boundaries of the neighbourhood are somewhat debatable as different people and organizations recognize different Thorncliff Park boundaries. A common set of boundaries includes the Don River in the east, Millwood Road in the west, Wicksteed Avenue and Research Road in the north and the railway tracks between Millwood and Wicksteed in the northeast. However some consider the area north of the railway tracks, to Eglinton Avenue and Laird Avenue, to be included in the Thorncliff Park neighbourhood. When analyzing crime statistics, it is important to understand that criminals do not stop at predefined boundaries. While it is very useful to look at the statistics for a certain area, it is also important to investigate the crime statistics of the neighbouring regions as well. Crime often crosses between neigbourhoods. Due to this, it is vital to note what the crime statistics are north of the railway tracks, whether or not you consider this area to be a part of Thorncliff Park. In the area north of Overlea Boulevard, west of the Don River and stretching until Eglinton in the north and Laird in the west, there is an average of 3.23 crimes against people per 1000 people living and working in the area. There is an average of 14.16 crimes against property. The area in the southeast of the neighbourhood that is surrounded by the Don River, Thorncliff Park Drive and Overlea Boulevard has an average of 7.03 crimes against people and 10.16 crimes against property. Just to the west of that region, in the area surrounded by Thorncliff Park Drive and Overlea Boulevard, there is an average of 9.63 crimes against people and 54.14 crimes against property. This is one of the Toronto areas with the most property crime. West of that region, in the area bordered by Thorncliff Park Dr., Overlea Blvd. and Millwood Road, there is an average of 3.23 crimes against people and 14.16 crimes against property. In August 2007, a man was stabbed to death outside of an apartment near Thorncliff Park Drive and Overlea Boulevard. From the Toronto Star:

Police are on the hunt for one suspect after a 35-year-old man was stabbed outside an east end apartment building this morning. Blue paramedic gloves remained in the cordoned off parking lot at the end of Milepost Pl., near Thorncliffe Park Dr. and Overlea Blvd., this afternoon, where an area resident was found dead around 7:30 a.m. Police have yet to find a weapon or release a suspect description. Preliminary investigation indicates that the victim was involved in “some kind of altercation” with someone he knew before he was stabbed.

In May 2007 a 17-year-old boy was was beaten and shot near a school in Thorncliff Park. From MyTownCrier.ca:

The incident began in the rear of Thorncliffe Park Junior School about 7:30 p.m. where the victim and a group of males had convened. Police say the encounter turned violent when the group began to pepper-spray and physically attack the victim. When he fought back, one man allegedly shot at him twice at close range. The wounded victim took off on foot toward a nearby store, while three boys in the group chased him. They caught up to him and continued their assault, fleeing only when store employees intervened. The victim was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

In July 2011, three men were attacked outside a local shopping mall. From CTV:

Police said two 19-year-old males and an 18-year-old male were leaving the East York Town Centre, near Thorncliffe Park and Overlea Blvd., at around 8:30 p.m. when they were approached by a group of men. One victim was shot in the leg, while another was stabbed in the stomach and chest. The third victim was stabbed near the eye. The victim who was shot was taken to hospital with serious injuries. The two other victims were also treated in hospital.

In August 2011, two teenagers were arrested in Thorncliff Park on firearm and drug charges. From the Toronto Sun:

Police took two loaded handguns off the streets after cops arrested a couple of teenagers who were selling drugs on Thorncliffe Park Dr., Toronto Police said Thursday. Officers with 53 Division’s major crime unit spotted a drug deal go down around 5:45 p.m. Tuesday, Const. Tony Vella said. Two teens fled as the cops approached but were arrested after a short chase. During the search, officers found a loaded 9-mm handgun, cocaine, marijuana and some cash.

The Kingsway is a Toronto neighbourhood that is located in the former City of Etobicoke. It is also known as “Kingsway South” but that name is usually only used for official planning purposes.

The Kingsway Crime

In June 2009 a woman was sexually assaulted near Royal York and Dundas. From City TV:

Police are searching for a man accused of sexual assault after a woman was attacked on Sunday. The alleged altercation happened around 8pm near Royal York Rd. and Dundas St. Officers say the suspect approached the woman from behind, grabbed her, and assaulted her. She screamed and struggled and finally broke free.

In January 2011 a bank teller bank robbery took place near Bloor Street and Grenview Boulevard. From MyTownCrier.ca:

Police say a man wearing a disguise entered the bank at 2930 Bloor St. West around 3:40 p.m. The man reportedly threatened the teller and demanded cash. When the teller complied, the perpetrator fled westbound on Bloor Street West. The teller was unharmed.

Another robbery took place in July 2011 at a bank near Royal York and Bloor. In this situation a man was attacked at an ATM machine. From the Toronto Sun:

The teens, one described as being black and his accomplice white, stormed into the lobby of the Royal Bank branch on Bloor St. in The Kingsway, a block east of Royal York Rd., around 12:20 a.m. Wednesday. The teen with the knife then swung the weapon at him a couple of times while demanding money. The envelope with the cash fell to the floor and then the bandits demanded more from his account. But the machine twice denied Sterpin from taking out any money because he didn’t have enough in his account. But the man with the knife turned his attention to a gold chain Sterpin was wearing but he pleaded with them not to take the family heirloom. The knifeman — who did all the talking — acquiesced, telling him to stand in the corner before they fled.

The Junction is a Toronto neighbourhood that was formerly an independent city known as West Toronto. The neighbourhood’s main street is Dundas Street West and the major intersection in the Junction is Dundas and Keele Street. The Junction’s northern boundary is St. Clair Avenue and it’s southern boundary is High Park. It stretches as far west as Runnymede Road and as east to just past Keele Street in some places. The Junction is home to a great deal of recent development, both commercial and residential, as well as many older buildings. As with all Toronto neighbourhoods, and neighbourhoods in any large city, the Junction has its share of crime. In the area south of St. Clair and north of the railway tracks, between Runnymede Road and Keele Street, there is an average of 6.6 crimes against people per 1,000 people living and working in the area. However, there is an average of 36.32 crimes against people per 1,000. South of the railway lines to Annette Street, between Runnymede Road and Quebec Street, there is an average of 5.78 crimes against people and 21.19 crimes against property. West of Quebec Street, there is an average of 10.62 crimes against people and 24.31 crimes against property. Unfortunately, crime strikes all Toronto neighbourhoods and the Junction is no different. In December 2009, a man was shot and killed in the area of Dundas Street West and Gilmour Avenue near Runnymede Road in the Junction. Witnesses say that two men were involved in the murder and that they were seen fleeing the area shortly afterwards. The murder took place at around 10pm. The victim was a 29-year-old man who likely had no connection to the assailants. He was ambushed and shot outside of a local restaurant. Some speculated that he was killed for standing up to local criminals in the past. He had been called an ‘anti-gang activist.” Police stressed that the Junction is “known for being a safe neighbourhood” and urged anyone who saw the crime take place to come forward and speak to police. They also mentioned that the murder was recorded on as many as five security cameras in the area. The footage was analyzed immediately. A few weeks after the murder, three arrests were made in connection with the killing. Having security footage available is incredibly beneficial for police. While witnesses may not wish to come forward to report a crime, either out of fear or for other reasons, video evidence does not lie. Eyewitness testimony can sometimes be suspect, but the same does not hold true for video. Upon arriving at he scene of a crime, one of the first things that the authorities often ask for is if there is any video surveillance footage. Installing security cameras inside and outside your home or business can greatly increase the chances that a criminal will be caught in the act. This holds true for any type of crime, from murder to assault to robbery and everything in between. There is no substitution for security cameras. They are an invaluable tool when it comes to identifying and prosecuting criminals. They also act as a powerful deterrent against crime.

The Danforth, also known as Greektown and Greektown on the Danforth. Is a Toronto neighbourhood. As the name suggests, it is centered around Danforth Avenue in Toronto. The definition of the actual area varies, but the neighbourhood is generally focused around Danforth Avenue from Broadview Avenue to Coxwell Avenue. The Danforth neighbourhood BIA considers a smaller area, between Chester Avenue and Dewhurst Boulevard, as “Greektown on the Danforth.” The area is home to a large number of restaurants as well as a variety of different stores. There are also a number of single-family residences in the neighbourhood. There are a number of different regions within the Danforth neighbourhood and each of those regions has different crime statistics. Some of these regions stretch slightly outside of the traditional Danforth boundaries. However, it is important to remember that criminals do not stop at certain streets. Crime can easily cross one from neighbourhood to another. In the area north of Danforth Avenue, between the Don Valley Parkway and Pape Avenue, there is an average of 6.86 crimes against people and 23.97 crimes against property per 1000 people living and working in the area. South of Danforth between the DVP and Hampton Avenue, there is an average of 7.77 crimes against people and 38.91 crimes against property per 1000. Between Hampton Avenue and Pape Avenue there is an average of 10.9 crimes against people and 48.24 crimes against property. This area of the Danforth is one of the Toronto neighbourhoods with the most property crime. North of Danforth between Pape Avenue and Greenwood Avenue, there is an average of 15.62 crimes against people and 35.42 crimes against property per 1000. South of Danforth Avenue between Pape and Jones Avenue there is an average of 12.27 crimes against people and 41.48 crimes against property.

South of Danforth, also between Greenwood and Coxwell, there is an average of 12.75 crimes against people and 21.58 crimes against property. In April 2007 a man was stabbed and killed inside a Danforth restaurant where he was celebratinga  friend’s birthday. The attack was believed to be random. From CP24:

A man has died from stab wounds he received while celebrating a friend’s birthday at a restaurant on Toronto’s Greektown strip. Jordan Ormonde, 24, was stabbed in the neck Saturday night while inside the Kokkino restaurant and bar. Police investigators believe the attack was a random assault. Officers are now looking for a man who introduced himself as “Benny” to others in the restaurant. Police are also searching for two other suspects and say they need help identifying them. Many of the people who were in the restaurant have already spoken with police but detectives are looking for others who fled the scene.

The alleged attacker was arrested in July 2007 in New York City. In January 2009 a man was shot in the head during a robbery attempt in the area. Another man was shot in the leg during the same attack. From the Toronto Star:

Related Map of GTA homicides Local crime maps Crime Stoppers Investigators suspect a botched street robbery may have been behind a double shooting on the Danforth, three hours into the new year. One man in his early 20s is in critical condition after being shot in the head. The victim was on life support at St. Michael’s Hospital last night, surrounded by his family. A second man, shot in the leg, remains in “satisfactory” condition, said Staff Sgt. Michael Cannon. Gunfire broke out about 3:30 a.m. at the corner of Danforth and Donlands Aves. police say. Neighbouring streets were mostly empty, witnesses recalled, with most New Year’s revellers already home.

Later that year, in November 2009, a man was shot and killed in front of a house near Danforth and Pape. From the Toronto Sun:

There was bloodshed in Greektown last night after a 27-year-old man was shot dead in front of a house just north of Danforth Ave. Police arrived at 97 Gough Ave. just west of Pape Ave. shortly before 8 p.m. where they found Theodoros Tiku dying of mutliple gunshot wounds. “We have no suspects at this time,” Staff Sgt. Kelly Dory said. He couldn’t confirm the number of gunshot wounds sustained by the victim, but a nearby restaurant owner said he heard five or six shots.

There was another shooting in the neighbourhood in August 2010. Several shots were fired and a man was hit in the leg during a robbery. From the Toronto Sun:

Bullets were flying on Danforth Ave. early Sunday as a robbery ended with one man suffering a minor wound to the leg. The frightening ordeal began just after 11 p.m. Saturday when two bandits robbed a group of men outside a 7-11 at Danforth Ave. and Donlands Rd., Toronto Police say. And then later, around 1:30 a.m., there was another encounter between the two groups, only this time gunfire erupted.

In March 2011 a man was stabbed in the face during another robbery near Danforth and Greenwood. The victim was confronted by a man while he was walking and a struggle took place. A second man then approached the victim and stabbed him in the face, hand and torso. The two men stole the victim’s bracelet and left the scene in a car. Another robbery led to a stabbing near Danforth and Greenwood in July 2011. A student was stabbed by another teenager in the neck and chest around 10:30 in the morning. The attacker was later arrested and charged.

Another SafeTech crime report, this time it is our The Beaches Crime Report. “The Beaches” (also known as “The Beach”) is a Toronto neighbourhood that is located primarily along Queen Street East. The boundaries of the region are Kingston Road in the north, Coxwell Ave in the west, Victoria Park Avenue in the east and Lake Ontario in the south. The area is known for the commercial district along Queen Street, the beautiful single-family homes in the area and, of course, the beach.

Statistics: The Beaches Crime Report

The amount of crime against people and crime against property in the Beach is average in comparison to the rest of the City of Toronto. For the area of the Beaches that is south of Queen Street, there is an average of 7.8 crimes against people per 1,000 people living and working in the area. There is an average of 20.64 crimes against property. North of Queen, there is an average of 7.44 crimes against people and 23.68 crimes against property.

Case Studies: The Beaches Crime Report

One of the most famous recent crime incidents was actually a series of more than 40 burglaries that took place over a month in late 2008. Between late October and early December 2008, almost 50 homes were broken into by a single burglar. The burglar stole small valuables from each home such as personal electronics like cell phone, music players and laptop computers. The criminal even took food and drinks from the refrigerators of his victims. All of the related burglaries happened in the early morning when most residents were still asleep. The crime spree led to a police manhunt in the area. Officers stated that insufficient security made the break-ins rather easy. “These are very expensive homes with very cheap locks,” said Inspector Peter Yuen. “What we want people to do is make sure their house is secure and make it as unattractive as possible for a bandit to get into your house. Lock your door, make sure your windows are closed, keep a light on over your porch.” Those tips should be followed by everyone in order to avoid burglaries. Doors should always be locked with strong dead bolts and windows should be protected with bars. Motion-activated lighting over all entryways and elsewhere on your property is incredibly effective as well. Of course, you should always make sure to set your home alarm system. This is an important fact to learn from The Beaches Crime Report. Robberies in the Beaches have not been limited to residential properties either. In April 2010, a restaurant owner had his teeth knocked out during a robbery. Two unknown assailants attacked the man outside his restaurant at night. They threw him against his car, hit him in the mouth with an object and stole the day’s receipts and cash from the owner. It is incredibly important to always be aware of your surroundings, especially when carrying cash or valuables. Equipping the inside and outside of your business (or residence) with security cameras is also a great idea. Not only does this make it much more difficult for criminal to escape without being seen, but cameras often act as a deterrent to crime. Trusting cameras and security tools will reduce the likelihood of your becoming a statistic in our The Beaches Crime Report.

In 2008, there was a fatal stabbing in the Sheppard and Kennedy area. From CP24:

A young person was fatally stabbed in the parking lot of an apartment complex near Kennedy Road and Sheppard Avenue in Scarborough. Two suspects were seen fleeing the scene at 2250 Kennedy Road about 7.30 p.m. Tuesday. The victim was rushed to hospital with no vital signs and has been pronounced dead.

In 2009, another victim was rushed to hospital after he was stabbed in the midsection. The stabbing also took place in the Kennedy and Sheppard area. From CP24:

Toronto police have identified a 19-year-old man who died in hospital following a mid-day stabbing in the east end on Monday. Annushath Indrakanthan was rushed to hospital after he was found with multiple stab wounds to the stomach and chest near Kennedy Road and Sheppard Avenue.

In August 2011 a man was shot behind an apartment complex in the Sheppard and Warden area. From NewsTalk 1010:

Toronto Police responded to the scene of a shooting behind an apartment complex at 25 Bay Mills Blvd. Monday afternoon. That is in the Sheppard and Warden area. It happened around 4:48 pm. Initial calls that came into 42 Division reported the sound of firecrackers, but officers found an Asian male in his 50s with a gunshot wound to the neck. Toronto EMS tells NewsTalk 1010 he has since died. A gun was reportedly recovered in the area.

That same area was the scene of a stabbing in November 2011. From CTV:

One man is in custody and another recovering in hospital after a man called police claiming he was stabbed in the stomach early Monday morning. Toronto police said they received a call from a man who said he had been stabbed on Bay Mills Boulevard, near Warden Avenue and Sheppard Avenue East, at about 3:30 a.m. Investigators say they arrived at a multi-storey apartment and found the man suffering from a stab wound to the stomach.
