Police say the first incident occurred on July 25 at approximately 11:15 p.m., when a dark\u2011coloured SUV pulled up in front of the bakery near Bathurst Street and Steeles Avenue West.<\/p>\n<p>Moments later, the bakery\u2019s front glass shattered, and the vehicle fled southbound on Carpenter Road. The business was closed at the time, and no injuries were reported.<\/p>\n<p>Roughly an hour later, at 12:15 a.m. on July 26, a dark\u2011coloured SUV pulled up outside another location of the same bakery chain near Yonge Street and St. Clair Avenue West. Police say a firearm was discharged from inside the vehicle, striking the bakery\u2019s front windows. <\/p>\n<p>Officers located evidence of gunfire at the scene. The bakery was closed again, and no injuries were reported.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators believe the same SUV may have been involved in both shootings. An image of the suspect vehicle has been released. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe understand that this is concerning for those that work and live in this area, especially members of the Jewish community,\u201d Toronto police Duty Inspector Scott Bradbury told reporters on Sunday. \u201cRight now we don\u2019t know what the connection is, other than it\u2019s the same Jewish-owned business chain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Police say the Integrated Gun and Gang Task Force is conducting an extensive video canvass in both neighbourhoods. Anyone with information can reach investigators directly or provide tips anonymously through Crime Stoppers.<\/p>\n<p>With files from CityNews\u2019 Denio Lourenco<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"1024\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/sxsx-1024x560.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" ratio=\"16x9\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\"  \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tInvestigators believe the same SUV may have been involved in both shootings.
