TORONTO — Toronto police have announced a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a man wanted in a string of robberies and break-ins, including the shooting of a mall security guard last week.

Police say they responded to reports of a shooting at Fairview Mall just after 10 a.m. last Tuesday.

They allege the suspect stole items from a jewelry store, then shot and seriously injured a security officer before fleeing.

Police have identified the suspect as 53-year-old Kyle Douglas Prouse of Montreal, who they say is wanted for seven robberies and break-and-enters at banks and jewelry stores across Ontario and Quebec dating back to 2023.

Police say Prouse has ties to Toronto and Vancouver.

Police say the reward is time-sensitive and is in effect until June 30, and anyone with information is asked to contact investigators or Crime Stoppers.
