Suspect sought in Humber Bay Shores for pulling 15 fake fire alarms

October 22, 2020 by SouthEtobicokeNews

A man who is suspected of pulling the fire alarms of at least 15 high-rise condos in the Humber Bay Shores area is on the run from irate tenants, police and fire officials.

A security photograph of the suspect has been released as officials say he is believed to be carrying inflammable liquids and may strike again.

“This person has hit 15 buildings in the area,” according to security officials at Eau Du Soleil, at 20-30 Shore Breeze Dr. “We have attached a photo of the person who is responsible for the alarms.”

Property management of the building said the suspect struck around 2:40 a.m. on October 19 waking up irate tenants of the twin high-rise when he pulled the alarm and fled.

“The individual threw a rock at the glass and proceeded to pull the fire station,” according to a post on social media by building officials. “He felt he distracted the concierge enough to do so.”

They said the culprit struck again on October 22, when a security official saw a man who fitted the suspect’s description wandering around the building.

“Our security guard walked towards the offender to have him removed from the property,” the building’s security officials wrote. “The offender then lunged at the security guard.”

They said their security officers are not allowed to put themselves in danger, and the suspect managed to pass by him and once again pulled the fire alarm, which is loud and awakened most of the tenants.

Toronto Police and Fire Services attended the scene and deemed the incident a false alarm.

“Management has received multiple impolite e-mails regarding the alarm that goes off in-suite,” according to the building’s management. “The decibel level of the fire alarm is required under the fire code.”

They warn if any tenants disconnect the fire alarm on their in-suite speaker, fire officials will fine the building and a contractor will be required to reconnect the system at a cost of $600 to the owner of the unit.

“We have no control and cannot control the volume,” building officials warn. “If you see this individual anywhere on the premises, we urge you to contact 911 immediately and advise the concierge in your tower.”

The Eau Du Soleil condo is described as where the waterfront and elegance meets sophistication. Its awe-inspiring views and resort-like amenities make it one of Canada’s most iconic waterfront communities, rising 66 and 49 storeys into the Toronto skyline.

Residents in the area are urged to be vigilant as the suspect is getting brazen and can start a real fire. You can also call police at 416-808-2200.
