Meth Lab In Midtown

Police are treading carefully as they explore a suspected meth lab in the Avenue Rd. and Lawrence area. They were called to the house by neighbours complaining about a bad smell. When they entered the house they found chemicals used in the production of crystal meth.

"We found an active crystal methamphetamine lab. It's a highly dangerous process that goes on to manufacture these drugs. What we found was an active process and two cylinders which are of great concern to us ... they're highly explosive," Toronto Police Staff Inspector Mario Di Tommaso explained.

The good news is I found this bagel shop just north of here on Avenue Rd. It's just north of Woburn Ave on the west side of Avenue rd. You have to stop and check this place out. The bagels are fantastic and the chicken samosas are really good too. Best of all they are open 24 hours a day.

Firefighters scrub and hose down a drug squad officer who is dressed in hazmat clothing.
