Police have arrested a woman officers believe may be behind a spate of crimes involving girls and young women in Toronto.
Investigators recounted a series of alleged incidents reportedly involving a woman assaulting, filming and approaching young girls and women. Several incidents were reported on the Toronto subway.
In one case, reported on May 12 around 8 p.m., police said a group of pre-teen girls were in the elevator of a building around Cordova and Islington avenues. One person got into the elevator and put a cellphone at the girl’s feet, apparently recording them, police said.
