Toronto Police have requested the public’s assistance identifying three men wanted for their involvement in an organized theft ring.

According to police, on Thursday, September 6, officers responded to numerous reports of thefts in various bars and restaurants in the Financial District.

Police say that when women left their purses on the backs of chairs, one man would create a distraction, while an accomplice would wrap the purse in a jacket he was carrying.

The man would then leave the establishment with the purse hidden under his jacket. In some instances, the man would reach into the purse and steal the woman’s wallet.

On Wednesday, October 10, investigators released updated security images of the suspects.
