Toronto police are warning the public after syringes were reportedly tied to doors at Nathan Phillips Square.

In a tweet sent out shortly before 8 p.m., police said that security at the downtown urban plaza had twice found syringes attached to doors.

Details on the number of syringes and which doors they were affixed to were not immediately provided.

According to police, the first incident occurred on Oct. 25, when security found syringes either taped or tied to doors.

The caps were still on the syringes, police said.

The second incident occurred Nov. 1 but police were notified of both incidents on Monday.

The syringes have since been removed by security. No injuries have been reported.

In a statement to CP24 Monday night, Jackie DeSouza, director of strategic communications with the City of Toronto, said that the city takes this type of incident ‘very seriously.’

“Our security staff are cooperating with police on their investigation,” she said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
