Suspects impersonated cop, judge in home reno scam: Police

Toronto Police are looking for several men in a home renovation scam in Mimico in which the suspects allegedly posed as an officer and a judge.

Cops said the investigation began on Oct. 5 after the victim, who lives in a home in Lakeshore Blvd. W. and Royal York Rd. area, contacted police after hiring contractors to perform work on her home.

“The victim was misled about the extent of repairs which were required which resulted in higher costs than quoted and significant financial loss,” police said in a news release.

The victim was then allegedly contacted by a man named Philip Spring, who identified himself as a Toronto Police detective, and told her that the contractors were being investigated for fraud.

Police said the victim was later contacted by a man claiming to be a judge named Stephen Firestone, who told her that the “investigation and court proceedings required her to pay a large amount of money and that she would be reimbursed through the court proceedings.”

Cops said the woman “purchased and delivered several bank drafts to the suspect(s) totalling over $200,000.”

Police said there’s no detective named Philip Spring, nor is there a judge named Stephen Firestone.

Cops describe the two men who posed as contractors as white men.

One is described as being in his mid- to late-40s, about 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-10 tall, with a heavier build, clean-shaven with short and thin brown/grey hair. He was wearing a T-shirt, jeans, and a plaid shirt.

The other is described as around 27 years old, 6-foot-tall, with a medium build, and short blond hair. He had a bandage on his hand, and was wearing a T-shirt, jeans, and a plaid shirt.

Police said the two drove a black pickup truck and a rusty blue pickup truck.

The suspect who impersonated a police Officer is pictured in a photo provided by police. He’s described as in his mid-30s, between 5-foot-8 and 5-foot-9 tall, with a medium build, short dark reddish/brown hair, and red/brown beard. He was last seen wearing a baseball cap and a heavier dark brown jacket.

All suspects, including one impersonating a judge, spoke with a British, Irish or Scottish accent, police said.
