Toronto police are looking for a suspect as a part of a food tampering investigation at a convenience store near Runnymede Road and Annette Street.

In a news release, police say a man entered the Little Bee Mart convenience store just before 2 p.m. on Sunday and placed an “unknown substance” inside a ketchup bottle and bottles of Coca-Cola before placing the items back on the store shelves for sale.

Surveillance camera photos of the suspect have been released. Police describe him as having a medium build and wearing faded blue jeans with a blue hooded vest, a green shirt, a blue baseball hat and blue shoes.

Police have seized the ketchup and Coca-Cola bottles to be tested and are urging residents in the area to “use caution if they purchase food items with broken safety seals.”
