Dixon Road Apartment Complex Police Raids

Recommended Posts

TORONTO - An Etobicoke apartment complex linked to the Rob Ford crack cocaine scandal is the subject of a police raid this morning.

 

Toronto Police blocked off vehicular traffic leading to 320 Dixon Rd. at Kipling Ave. around 5 a.m. The building is believed to be the same complex where an alleged video of the mayor smoking crack cocaine was being stashed.

 

Ford has said no such video exists and that he does not use crack cocaine.

 

Police said approximately 30 warrants were executed, targeting guns and drugs and the raids were a part of "Project Traveller."

 

Chief Bill Blair is expected to update the media at police headquarters at noon.

 

A Sun photographer at the scene estimated there was "at least 30" police cruisers and close to 100 officers at the scene.

 

"I've never seen so many cruisers at one scene in my life," Dave Thomas said.

 

The Kingsview Village complex has a history of gun violence. On May 21, less than a week after American gossip website Gawker said it had been offered the alleged video, there was a shooting on a 17th-floor apartment. A man in his 20s suffered a gunshot wound to his leg. Several days after the shooting, the Toronto Sun was told a man who allegedly possessed the video also lives

on the 17th floor.

 

Toronto Police won't talk about the video or the shooting, so it’s unclear if the two are connected.

 

The man who is believed to have shot the 90 seconds of footage with his cellphone, and may have been killed for it, also lived in Kingsview Village.

 

Anthony Smith, 21, was shot to death outside a King St. W. nightclub March 28 and his 19-year-old pal, who can’t be named because of a publication ban, was wounded.

 

Both men are also in a much-publicized photo where they and a third man appear to be socializing with the mayor. That photo is believed to have been taken outside a house 15 Windsor Rd. That street is connected by a pathway to the Dixon Rd. highrise complex.

These spring-cleanup-style raids are an annual occurrence in Toronto, but I don't remember ever hearing of one taking place in the Dixon area before.

 

Lol at 'Project Traveller', I wonder if that's a thinly veiled reference to Somali pastoralism.

LoL with all the fake tickets they write people, i am sure they can afford to purchase their SWAT team a decent armored car instead of the budget truck they are riding on.

The Toronto Police Service.

 

turns out that most of the $3 mil + was Shaloongo funds. Good luck to them trying to prove why they have stacks of cash at home with no proof of where it came from.
