Police are looking for multiple suspects after several Buddhist temples north of Toronto were robbed.
York Regional Police say two suspects forced their way into a home associated with the Buddhist Prajna Temple in Markham, Ont., on July 21 and stole a large amount of Canadian and American cash.
Police say the suspects stole money and a safe from another Buddhist temple in Markham on Aug. 6 and Aug. 19.
They say the suspects made a failed attempt to rob a Buddhist temple in Whitchurch-Stouffville on Aug. 13, fleeing empty-handed when people inside called police.
