Toronto police say a 63-year-old woman has been found safe after an extensive search that saw officers canvassing neighbourhoods, reviewing security footage, and appealing to the public for assistance.
Police confirmed Wednesday afternoon that the woman was located in the area of O’Connor Drive and St. Clair Avenue East, in a residential neighbourhood. She was found outside and was assessed by paramedics before being transported to hospital as a precaution.
Investigators on scene told CityNews that security footage played a key role in helping officers track her movements and ultimately locate her.
The 63-year-old was first reported missing on Aug. 8, with Toronto police issuing multiple public appeals and releasing updated photos. She was last seen in the Eglinton Avenue East and Victoria Park Avenue area around noon, and later that day near Eccleston Drive and Swift Drive.
Police said they were concerned for her safety, prompting an expanded search effort and the establishment of a command post at the Latvian Canadian Centre.
