Toronto police say they have arrested two foreign women after investigating a number of distraction thefts that targeted elderly victims in the Greater Toronto Area.
They say the incidents are part of a growing trend of violent distraction robberies committed by foreign nationals and may be connected to similar crimes in Quebec and other parts of Ontario.
