Criminal investigations in Ontario

Overview

Police in Toronto and across Ontario are investigating several incidents of sexual assault and hate-motivated crimes.

In Toronto, authorities investigated two separate sexual assaults in August. One incident near Steeles Avenue East and Warden Avenue led to the arrest of 31-year-old Anh Tuan Le, who faces charges of sexual assault and sexual harassment. A second incident at Roundhouse Park involved the alleged assault of a six-year-old child; police are currently searching for a male suspect described as being between 55 and 60 years old.

Broader investigations in Ontario have identified further criminal activity. In Brampton, Peel police are searching for a suspect in two sexual assaults involving a woman and a minor. In the Durham region, 63-year-old Faruk Dewan has been charged with 11 counts of sexual assault and 11 counts of sexual interference related to the abuse of two children.

Simultaneously, law enforcement is addressing hate crimes. In Hamilton, the Hate Crime Unit is investigating the placement of neo-Nazi and anti-Black stickers at the Solidarity Place Worker Education Centre. In Toronto, police are seeking information regarding a suspected hate-motivated stabbing near Queens Quay West and Lower Spadina Avenue, where the suspect allegedly used racial slurs and anti-Sikh remarks.
