Break-and-enter suspect caught on video wrapping ping pong table

This is frankly very bizarre. Toronto police are on the hunt for a break-and-enter suspect who smashed his way into a business, attempted to decorate a ping pong table in wrapping paper and left seven hours later.

Toronto police say several Mac laptops and a Microsoft tablet were stolen in the incident, but that doesn't really explain the series of events that began shortly after midnight on New Year's Day.

Recently-released surveillance video shows a visibly-upset suspect, wearing a t-shirt and vest, kick a hole in a door window before climbing through and into a Liberty Village business at around 2:30 a.m.

Once inside, the suspect is seen unrolling wrapping paper over a ping pong table. A time stamp on the surveillance video suggests he left the scene seven hours after breaking in, wearing a jacket and carrying a duffel bag.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Toronto police at 416-808-1400.Anyone who received a second-hand ping pong table as a belated Christmas present should consider touching base as well.
