Toronto Police have tracked down a man they say left a package filled with syringes and “other paraphernalia” by a midtown elementary school.
The incident happened around 10 a.m. Tuesday at Eglinton Junior Public School near Eglinton Ave. and Mount Pleasant Rd.
Police are treating this as a mischief investigation.
According to investigators, Community Safety Team members saw a man leave a package by the school. When they looked inside it, they found the paraphernalia.
The man left the area riding a dark-coloured bicycle, investigators said.
At 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, police arrested 44-year-old Anthony Purchase of no fixed address, charging him with michief and failing to comply with probation.
He’s scheduled to appear in court Thursday morning.
Anyone with information is asked to call 416-808-5300 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
