Manhunt for Jewelry Heist Suspect in Toronto

0:00A 53-year-old man from Montreal is now wanted for shooting a security guard at Fairview Mall in North York during an attempted jewelry heist. Toronto police say Kyle Douglass Prouse walked into the store, grabbed some merchandise, and when the guard confronted him, he opened fire. The guard suffered serious injuries and ended up in the hospital. Meanwhile, Durham Regional Police have linked Prouse to a big jewelry store break-in in Oshawa back in August 2023, where over two hundred thirty-five thousand dollars in goods got stolen. They also want him for stealing a car and pickering that was used in that job. Police recovered a white van Prouse allegedly fled the mall in, then believe he switched to a black Honda Accord to keep going. He's got ties to Toronto and Vancouver, making the search wider. No arrest yet, and folks are on edge with this guy still out there. Police are urging anyone with tips to come forward quick. Stay sharp out there, and we'll keep you posted as this manhunt heats up.
