Shots fired in Fairview Mall armoured vehicle robbery

Toronto police are searching for at least two suspects after shots were fired during an armoured vehicle robbery Monday night at Fairview Mall.

The robbery happened at about 10:30 p.m. outside the TD Canada Trust bank in the northwest corner of the mall, which is located at Don Mills Road and Sheppard Avenue East.

It's unclear how many shots were fired or who fired them. A bullet hole could be seen in the front window of the armoured vehicle, which is owned by the security company G4s. The two security guards in the vehicle at the time were not hurt.

There is no word yet on how much money was stolen or how many suspects were involved.

Police found a Dodge Caravan on a nearby residential street they believe was the getaway vehicle. The van was left with its lights on and engine running.

The northwest corner of the mall is expected to be closed to traffic until midday as police investigate.
