RICHMOND HILL, Ont. — Police say a baby monitor was doing more than keeping an eye on the baby — it helped officers identify three suspects in series of thefts north of Toronto.
York Regional Police say a home in Richmond Hill, Ont., was broken into on Dec. 19, 2015, and the incident was captured on video by a baby monitor.
Investigators say they identified the suspects from the video.
And they say the suspects on the video were later linked to several incidents in which shoppers had their wallets and bags removed from shopping carts at various stores in Vaughan, Ont.
Police say a series of search warrants were executed earlier this month in Toronto and officers seized a large quantity of jewelry, tools, clothing and collectibles.
Three people were to appear in court Thursday in Newmarket, Ont., facing various theft-related charges.
