A Montreal man with ties to Vancouver and Toronto is wanted after a security guard was shot following a robbery at Fairview Mall on Tuesday.
Toronto police said officers were called around 10:05 a.m. for reports of a shooting inside the mall, which is located at Sheppard Avenue and Don Mills Road.
A security guard confronted the 53-year-old man, who had broken into a jewelry store and stolen merchandise; during that interaction, he was shot, police said.
A victim was also taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Durham Police later confirmed the suspect, Kyle Douglas Prouse, is also wanted in connection to a 2023 break-and-enter investigation.
