Police responded just before 2 a.m. on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, after receiving multiple calls reporting gunshots outside the INKAS Armoured Vehicle Manufacturing plant on Weston Road near Finch Avenue West in North York, Toronto. Officers arrived at the industrial site within minutes and confirmed that shots had struck the exterior of the facility, leaving visible damage to the building’s walls.
INKAS is a global manufacturer of armored vehicles, supplying protected transport solutions to military, law‑enforcement and commercial customers worldwide. The North York location serves as the company’s Canadian headquarters and is a key site for its production and distribution activities across the country.
Members of the Toronto Police Service secured the perimeter of the plant and began a criminal investigation. Detectives are gathering forensic evidence, reviewing any available surveillance footage from the plant and nearby streets, and speaking with witnesses who may have observed the incident. Additional police units have been placed on standby to support the ongoing inquiry.
Preliminary observations indicate that the gunfire caused damage to the exterior walls and a portion of the loading dock at the INKAS facility. No injuries have been reported, and the company has confirmed that damage was sustained but has not yet provided an estimate of repair costs or the impact on its operations.
The investigation remains active, and police have not disclosed information about potential suspects, motives or any further threats. Authorities have asked members of the public to avoid the area while evidence collection continues and to allow investigators full access to the scene.
