Investigators have released surveillance camera footage of a suspect wanted after an 86-year-old woman had a gold chain snatched off her neck while walking with her husband in the Bloor Street and Park Road area last month.

Police say the couple was walking north on Park Road, near Asquith Avenue north of Bloor Street East at 8:10 p.m. on June 12 when three men approached them from behind.

One of the men allegedly grabbed a gold chain off of the woman’s neck.

The woman then chased after the men, asking for them to return it but the suspect refused.
