On Monday, Toronto police chief
On Monday, Toronto police chief Myron Demkiw addressed the backlash they've been facing after Toronto police made headlines last week for an officer's suggestion that residents leave their car keys by the front door to avoid a home invasion, seemingly to let criminals more easily steal their vehicle without confrontation.
"We're certainly aware of the backlash. That's something that happened in the in the context of a community meeting many weeks ago now. And I think the service has been very clear. We have a number of crime prevention tips that we provide. We publish them quite broadly," Demkiw said.
Demkiw reiterated that the department is actively working to apprehend those who are committing these types of crimes and hold them accountable. In the meantime, residents are encouraged to take matters into their own hands by cutting back hedges, ensuring good lighting, and parking cars in garages to prevent such criminal activity.
The Toronto Police Service has said home invasions and break-ins related to auto thefts rose 400 per cent last year.
