York Regional Police has issued a warning to condo residents after suspects allegedly used glue on doors to “scout” units and later commit break-ins.
Police said there has been two reported incidents in Richmond Hill involving unidentified suspects.
Investigators said during the early morning hours, the suspects would gain entry into a condo building, sometimes taking extra steps to prevent communal exits from locking properly ahead of time.
The suspects applied a “glue-like substance” on the unit doors throughout the building and would return at a later date to “examine the condition of the glue to determine if the units were occupied before committing break and enters,” police said.
