TORONTO — A 54-year-old man has been charged with theft after police allege he stole personal items from visitors at a neonatal intensive care unit waiting room at Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital earlier this year.
Police said a “well-dressed man” walked into the hospital, located at 600 University Ave., and positioned himself outside of the newborn ICU.
As visitors left the waiting room, police alleged he went through their coats and pockets and stole wallets and other valuables.
Douglas Stephen Smith, 54, was arrested and appeared in court on Friday after being charged with theft. Police believe there may be other victims at Mount Sinai and possibly at other Toronto hospitals.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Toronto police or Crime Stoppers.
