Police seek public’s help after guns taken in break-in at Markham home

MARKHAM, Ont. – York regional police are seeking the public’s assistance following the theft of several firearms from a Markham, Ont., home.

Police say a homeowner returned from vacation to find a safe containing firearms had been taken and reported the break-in last Thursday.

They say the safe was found in the Greenwood Conservation Area in Ajax, Ont., the next day and seized for forensic identification.

Investigators are asking anyone who noticed suspicious activity in the area of the home (Herbert Wales Crescent) between April 7 and April 12, or in the area where the safe was discovered, to come forward.

They say the 1.5-metre high safe would likely have required a vehicle to transport it from the home.
