TORONTO DEPUTY POLICE chief today asked for the public’s help in determining who built a mysterious tunnel near a major sporting venue and a university in Toronto.
Police also want to know why it was built.
A wildlife official was walking through woods near York University and the Rexall Center last month when he spotted a piece of corrugated metal on the ground, lifted it up and found a passageway.
Deputy police chief Mark Saunders said the tunnel was more than six feet high, almost three feet wide and about 33 feet long, and was hidden in a densely wooded area of the city, “well off the beaten path.”
Had it continued, the tunnel would have exited on the other side of a hill overlooking nearby tennis courts and a sports facility that will host the Pan American Games in July.
But it would not have posed a threat to the Games, Saunders insisted, explaining that the tunnel would not have “come up covertly anywhere.”
