“It is the only report of any peanut butter, anywhere in the city, at any park, on file at the Toronto Police,” said Jenifferjit Sidhu, a Toronto Police media relations officer. “When we got there, it was already cleaned up.”

Sidhu said City of Toronto staff cleaned up the mess, then advised police.

“We weren’t able to obtain any forensics to determine if it actually is peanut butter, and investigate it further, but what we do have is just a report now on file,” Sidhu said. “(The city) now knows to block off the area and call police.”
