The police department of Toronto has announced that they are indeed investigating the case of a huge theft scam at the Salvation Army, and it is on a “fairly complex” stage so it might take quite some time to be solved.

Const. Tony Vella declared that the case is being investigated by the 33 Division’s Major Crimes Unit. Vella told the press on Wednesday morning, that “It is a fairly complex case, so it is going to take us some time to determine exactly what has happened and who is responsible.” He clarified that “at this point nobody has been arrested.”

Unconfirmed sources have pointed out that the Police are working on a theory that it was an inside job. The theft scam have resulted in stolen toys of roughly $2 million, and was initially reported to police on September 27, however it was made public on Tuesday. It is too soon to judge where these toys ended up. The Salvation Army has scheduled a news conference for 1:30 p.m. to provide further details on the theft. It was announced on Tuesday that the organization is carrying out its own internal investigation.

Vella confirmed that “the officers are actively working on the case” and “they are speaking to witnesses, they are going through pertaining documents but at the end of the day it’s going to take us some time.” The Salvation Army warehouse is located on Railside Drive in Brampton. It is staffed by a small group of management personnel who work alongside delivery personnel.
