Is Charles Ng in town for the upcoming PanAm games in Toronto?
Poppy, rosary found in mystery tunnel near Pan Am venue
Whoever dug the ominous tunnel near the Rexall Centre ? one of the venues for this summer?s Pan Am Games ? likely has some construction or engineering experience, a whole lot of free time and apparently some deference for veterans and Christianity.
But, for now, Toronto Police say their identities remain as mysterious as the bunker-like chamber they constructed beneath the ground in wooded North York ravine.
?We?re trying to find and establish who built it, why they built it and what were their intentions,? Deputy Chief Mark Saunders said Tuesday at headquarters.
Saunders said whoever dug the tunnel in Black Creek Parkland, northeast of Jane St. and Finch Ave. W., didn?t commit a criminal offence and so far, police have found no evidence of anything illegal after five weeks of investigating.
?Until we find intent, that?s what will cross it over into criminal aspect, if we get that evidence,? he said.
The tunnel was discovered Jan. 14 by a conservation officer who noticed a mound of dirt in the woods just south of Shoreham Dr., just outside the western edge of the Rexall Centre?s tennis courts.
Police have kept quiet about the tunnel while they investigated, but they were forced to talk about the tunnel once the media got wind of it.
Saunders said it?s likely more than one person was involved in digging the tunnel.
And the work was done by hand, which may have taken weeks or months.
Police released photos of the tunnel, which has since been filled in and is now covered over with snow.
