A van crashed into Shoppers Drug Mart on the northeast corner of Charlotte and Bethune Streets at about 9:25 p.m. on Thursday.

The van struck at least one vehicle and then the driver fled the scene.

City police are continuing their investigation.

A police dog was brought to the scene to search for the driver.

A parked car in the angled parking along Bethune Street was damaged and the green street signs that usually sit atop the stop sign at the southwest corner of Charlotte and Bethune Streets were knocked to the ground.

Shoppers Drug Mart was open at the time of the crash. No one was hurt.

The white van had a partially removed wrap from a Toronto car dealership. The van was damaged in the front end where it hit the brick wall.

A few tenants in the apartment tower across Charlotte Street - with balconies overlooking the crash - came out and shouted a description of the van driver to police officers, who said they already had a man's description.

Bethune Street was briefly closed to traffic between Simcoe and Charlotte streets for the investigation and cleanup.

City police did not release any information about their investigation Friday.
