Police have arrested a suspect after a prank call about an armed hostage-taking that shut down a section of King St. W. for about three hours last week. Emergency Task Force officers surrounded the 365 Dispensary and the Underground Garage, at the southwest corner of King St. W. and Blue Jays Way, on Oct. 26 following the call. Police then released security camera images of a person they suspected had falsely reported the armed hostage-taking from a payphone near Spadina Ave. and Cecil St.Const. She said he was arrested in the downtown core “close enough” to the King St. W. and Blue Jays Way area. “There is enough evidence to charge him but the specifics of his motive aren’t known,” said Douglas-Cook.
