TORONTO - Toronto Police are scouring a North York neighbourhood for a three-year-old boy reported missing Thursday morning.
Elijah was discovered missing from an apartment on Neptune Dr., near Bathurst St. and Hwy 401, around 7:30 a.m.
Surveillance video showed the boy leaving the building on his own around 4:20 a.m., wearing only a T-shirt, diapers and winter boots, Const. Victor Kwong said.
"We are hoping he is not outdoors. If he is outside, he is not dressed for the extremely cold weather," Kwong said.
"We are urging residents in nearby buildings to check stairwells, hallways. Everyone in the area should be looking in their backyards."
The boy was staying at a relative's apartment at the time, Kwong said.
A "massive" police contigent is searching for the boy, including the K-9 and mounted units. The York Regional Police helicopter is also being used in the search.
