Bhesham Surooj, 25, was the final alleged criminal to be featured in 55 Division’s ‘Wanted Wednesday’ initiative in 2014. Police allege that Surooj broke into a building on Danforth Avenue last November, breaking both the law and the conditions of his parole, the result of an earlier break and enter conviction.
He is wanted on charges of committing break and enter, possession of break-in instruments, and failing to comply with probation. He is 5’6”, about 120 lbs, with black hair and brown eyes.
The first Wanted Wednesday of 2015 is Jeffrey Belfry, 37. Police allege Belfry was hired by a moving company for a day of work. When the day ended, the suspect was paid, but demanded more money. When the demand was refused, Belfry allegedly punched the victim multiple times in the face and stole his cell phone. He’s wanted for robbery. Belfry is 5’6”, about 150 lbs with brown hair and eyes.

Two young men face a string of charges after a marijuana grow-op went up in flames last month.
At about 4:30 a.m. on Dec. 17, fire and police services responded to a fire call at 2575 Danforth Ave. The fire, which was contained to one unit, was extinguished.
Police allege that the apartment was being used to produce marijuana, which was the cause of the fire. The tenants tried to put out the fire but fled the scene when they were unable to do so. Officers seized production equipment and a number of plants in various stages of growth.
Milovan Soluncac, 22, and Nigel Thompson, 22, both of Toronto, were charged with mischief endangering life, arson having disregard for human life, and drug production and possession charges. Both made their first appearance at College Park courts the day after the fire.
