Toronto authorities have apprehended and formally charged three men in connection with a string of car break-ins and vandalism incidents in the Eglinton East neighborhood of Scarborough.
Reports flooded in during October of vandalized car windows and stolen belongings, prompting a thorough investigation by law enforcement in mid-November. This probe ultimately led to the arrest of the trio believed to be responsible for the spree.
The suspects are accused of causing damage to numerous vehicles and pilfering items from within over the course of October and November.
Clifford Long, a 47-year-old from Toronto, faces charges including 13 counts of mischief under $5,000 and two counts of violating a probation order. He is set to make a court appearance on Jan. 14, 2026.
