"Suspects arrested after emerging from manhole cover"
http://www.cp24.com/servlet/an/l…
Three people were arrested Sunday morning after at least two men allegedly emerged from a sewer manhole cover near the Eaton Centre.
Peter, a security guard watching over the Bay at Queen and Yonge Streets, says he saw a male and female lingering around the shopping centre's entrance just before 2 a.m.
Peter says after a while, a manhole cover popped off the ground and two men emerged from the ground.
"I saw these two guys just fly out of the manhole. One guy just took off, the other guy just sauntered slowly."
The guard and his partner flagged down nearby police officers who arrested three of the four suspects.
Crews later arrived to weld the manhole cover shut.
It's not known how the suspects wound up in the underground system.
Infiltrating the sewer system is a popular tactic by anarchists, and crews welded shut manhole covers in the summit district in the weeks leading up to the G20.
