Toronto police issue letter-bomb warning
Aug 21, 2007

Toronto police are investigating after a man was injured by a letter bomb. Police say the man received an envelope at his home in the area of Victoria Park and Lawrence Avenues on the night of Aug. 11. When he opened the package, it exploded, causing injuries to his hands.

An envelope with a petroleum-type odour was found at another Toronto home in the area of Yonge St. and Sheppard Ave. on Aug. 19, but police were called and it was safely detonated. Both packages were bubble-wrapped envelopes, had properly addressed courier receipts, and contained petroleum-type fluid.

Police are warning members of the public to be cautious if they receive unexpected packages or envelopes and to contact police if they are suspicious of the contents. Suspicious envelopes and packages should not be handled or moved.
