Toronto Police said they first began investigating a series of brazen daytime break-ins on Tuesday in the Davisville Village area from Mount Pleasant Rd. and Eglinton Ave. E. to Bayview and Davisville Aves.

Police said a male suspect approached several homes in the middle of the day, knocked on doors several times and then “forcefully” entered the properties.

They said jewelry, wine and other small objects were taken. No one was home during the incidents.

Police said a similar incident was then reported on Saturday in the Danforth Ave.-Main St. area in the city’s east end after a male suspect approached a home at midday, knocked several times and then “forcefully” entered.

Again, no one was home and jewelry, wine and more small objects were taken.

Police said they are looking for a man in his 50s or 60s who is bald, has a grey mustache and a tattoo on his left forearm. He was last seen wearing black-framed glasses, a red long-sleeve shirt, black pants, a gold watch and black running shoes with white soles.
