Two Jewish-owned bagel shops in Toronto were damaged Sunday in incidents now under investigation by the Toronto Police Service’s Hate Crime Unit.
Two locations of Kiva’s, a bakery specializing in bagels, were attacked in the morning, with one shop’s window damaged by gunfire, police said in a post on X. The second location in the city also had a window damaged, but investigators found no evidence of gunshots there.
“At this time, investigators are examining whether the incidents are connected and working to identify those responsible,” police said. “There have been no reported injuries.”
CNN reached out to Kiva’s for comment on the attacks.
“We understand that this is concerning for those that work and live in this area, especially members of the Jewish community, and we have all the resources available to thoroughly investigate this matter,” Duty Inspector Scott Bradbury told reporters Sunday, according to footage from CTV, a CNN newsgathering partner.
