Police have identified the two people arrested following an explosion at a Parkdale apartment that was linked to a drug lab.

Rachelle Moore, 53, and Ararat Abryamyan, 43 – both of Toronto – face charges of possession of a Schedule II substance, production of a Schedule II substance, common nuisance and negligent arson.

They are both scheduled to appear in court next month.

The blast — which shattered windows and cast debris on the ground below — happened around 3:15 p.m. Saturday on the 19th floor of a building on West Lodge Avenue, near Queen Street West and Lansdowne.

There was extensive damage and smoke was coming from the unit, but there was no fire.

“The window frame in their living room was totally blown out,” said Platoon Chief Chris Bertram. “The explosion also blew the bedroom window out. There’s a panel that’s been blown off the balcony railing as well. So, it was quite a severe explosion.

“It happened very quickly … just a big, massive pop.”

Raynardo Ford, who lives in the unit next door, said he was home when the blast occurred.

“I was standing in my apartment,” he said. “I just happened to look out the window at the same time and the frame came out, the glass shattered.

“It was a loud explosion. It shook the entire floor.”

The two tenants were taken to St. Joseph’s Health Centre with minor burns, and a dog had singed fur.
