York Regional Police has issued a warning to condo residents after suspects allegedly used glue on doors to “scout” units and later commit break-ins.
Police said there has been two reported incidents in Richmond Hill involving unidentified suspects.
Investigators said during the early morning hours, the suspects would gain entry into a condo building, sometimes taking extra steps to prevent communal exits from locking properly ahead of time.
The suspects applied a “glue-like substance” on the unit doors throughout the building and would return at a later date to “examine the condition of the glue to determine if the units were occupied before committing break and enters,” police said.

Police did not provide any suspect information. The investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
