Police find three crystal meth labs in a Scarborough condo tower

Add meth-producing neighbours to the list of condo owners’ worries—police discovered three crystal meth labs in a Scarborough high-rise this week after residents complained of weird smells and suspicious leaks. On Monday morning, police found the first lab on the 30th floor of 190 Borough Drive, a tower near Ellesmere Road and McCowan Avenue. Yesterday morning, they found an additional two labs in the building, taped off the area and brought out the hazmat truck to clear out the toxic materials. No arrests have been made, but neighbours told police they saw a man make a daring escape by shimmying down to the balcony below. Given that Toronto’s condos are also alleged to harbour brothels, those shiny towers are starting to seem less like yuppie havens and more like dens of iniquity. [Toronto Star]
