Police have issued a public safety alert after possible hazardous material may have been discovered at a Toronto park Saturday.

Toronto police issued the alert after officers responded to calls from several dog owners in the area concerned their pets may have been poisoned in the Joel Weeks Parkette on Thompson Street.

Investigators said they are worried an “undetermined poison may have been left within the park area” that has potential to “harm children and small animals.”
