A Montreal man with ties to Vancouver and Toronto is wanted after a security guard was shot following a robbery at Fairview Mall on Tuesday.
Toronto police said officers were called around 10:05 a.m. for reports of a shooting inside the mall, which is located at Sheppard Avenue and Don Mills Road.
A security guard confronted a man who had broken into a jewelry store and stolen merchandise; during that interaction, he was shot, police said. The victim was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The suspect drove away from the area in a white van, travelling southbound on Don Mills. It was later recovered near Shaughnessy and George Henry boulevards. Police allege the suspect then left that scene in a black Honda Accord.
