11 charged after Toronto police investigate multiple shooting incidents in Thorncliffe Park area – Toronto

Toronto police say they’ve arrested 11 people in connection to multiple shooting incidents in the city’s Thorncliffe Park area between late 2019 into 2020.

The investigation was a “direct response to an increase in firearm related violence affecting that particular community and elsewhere within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA),” a press release read.

At a news conference Wednesday morning, police said there have been 350 shootings from Jan. 1 to Wednesday morning in Toronto – an increase of 40 from this time last year.

The focus of the investigation was on Salman Jogiyat and his associates, the release continued.
