Several coffee cups filled with a foul-smelling substance and placed atop parking metres in the Toronto Greektown neighbourhood in recent weeks have been found to contain urine and feces, said Toronto police.

Const. Jon Morrice, 55 Division’s crime prevention and social media officer confirmed on its Facebook page police from 54 and 55 divisions responded to a radio call for a chemical hazard after a community member thought the cups, which were found on both sides of Danforth Avenue near Pape Avenue, were filled with ammonia.

Police also said a hazardous materials team along with representatives from Toronto Public Health responded to the call and removed them. It was determined that they contained feces and urine.
