Video shows suspects throwing Molotov cocktails in Toronto

Police are on the hunt for four suspects who are accused of lighting a Liberty Village retail store on fire.

Officers say they responded to a call about a fire near East Liberty Street and Hanna Avenue on Aug. 14 just after 3:30 a.m.

It is alleged that three suspects approached a retail store and removed some items from a bag. One of the suspects is then said to have smashed the storefront window with an object, and then three of the suspects threw Molotov cocktails into the store.

Investigators say an additional suspect was riding a bike around the area and acting as a lookout. 

The four suspects then fled the scene as emergency crews approached to extinguish the fire.

Police say no injuries were reported but are keeping mum on other details. 

Investigators won’t say if this was a targeted attack or which businesses were impacted. However, they have released surveillance footage showing the alleged suspects in action.
