Toronto police are investigating a “suspicious incident” after two men tried to enter a North York Jewish school on Tuesday.
The men, dressed as repairmen in yellow vests, went to the Yeshiva Darchei Torah school on Champlain Blvd. claiming to be Rogers Communications employees but couldn’t provide identification and were sent away.
“We responded to a call for a suspicious incident (at the school) reporting two suspicious men entered the school posing as Rogers employees,” said Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook.
“Our unit attended and investigated. There is no other information other than the fact that the men entered the school. We continue to investigate.”
The school sent a letter home to parents to make them aware of the incident.
“This morning there was a “security incident” at the Yeshiva. During Shacharis ( morning prayers), two unidentified men — clearly of foreign background — tried to enter the building representing themselves as Rogers repairmen. All the doors were locked in accordance with our procedures,” the letter said.
“They were forced to come to the front door and use the intercom/bell to gain entry. (A) Rabbi responded to the call and asked for identification — also in accordance with our procedures,” said the letter. “The two men were unable to produce I.D. and were sent away. We were able to confirm with Rogers that no servicemen were sent to the area and there were no service outages in the general area of the Yeshiva.”
The school declined to comment.
