Police are looking for multiple suspects after several Buddhist temples north of Toronto were robbed.
York Regional Police say two suspects forced their way into a home associated with the Buddhist Prajna Temple in Markham, Ont., on July 21 and stole a large amount of ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø and American cash.
Police say the suspects stole money and a safe from another Buddhist temple in Markham on Aug. 6 and Aug. 19.
They say the suspects made a failed attempt to rob a Buddhist temple in Whitchurch-Stouffville on Aug. 13, fleeing empty-handed when people inside called police.
Police say two suspects then asked for a blessing before they stole a safe containing a large amount of cash on Aug. 20 from the Buddhist Monastery in Whitchurch-Stouffville.
They also say four male suspects stole a large amount of ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø and Chinese currency, along with a cell phone from the Cham Sham Temple in Markham.
Police are asking anyone with information to contact them.
This report by ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø was first published Sept. 7, 2023.
