A wave of break-ins has put some shop owners in Toronto's west end on high alert, and police have released images of the two people they believe are responsible for six break-ins on New Year's Eve. In a news release Tuesday, police said a man and a woman went to six businesses in the Queen Street West and Ossington Avenue area on Dec. 31 between 1:30 a.m. and 4:30 a.m.
Police said the man used a rock to break the front door of the businesses and targeted the cash tills, while the woman remained outside as a lookout and used her backpack to hide the stolen property. Police did not identify the businesses but local establishments are rallying around them, according to an owner and a manager of shops on Roncesvalles Avenue that were broken into recently. 'Everyone gets together in these kinds of situations because everyone can feel your pain as a small business,' Jonathan Larrad, owner of the Spanish Pig, a gourmet food shop, said in an interview on Tuesday. Jonathan Larrad, owner of the Spanish Pig, a gourmet food shop, says: 'It's very, very disheartening. It just gives you a very bad taste in your mouth. Any break-in, be it residential or commercial, it just leaves you feeling more vulnerable.' Larrad said his business was hit late Friday or early Saturday
