The National Post reports in its Friday, Feb. 2, edition that Cineplex has cancelled screenings of a South Indian film after four drive-by shootings at theatres throughout the Greater Toronto Area the day it premiered. A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post reports that Cineplex spokesman Michelle Saba says the theatre chain pulled the action film Malaikottai Vaaliban due to circumstances beyond its control. She added Cineplex is working with local authorities who are leading an investigation related to incidents at their theatres. York Regional Police say they were called to a theatre in Richmond Hill, Ont., on Jan. 24 after an employee arrived to find the windows had been shot at. The same day, police responded to similar incidents at theatres in Vaughan, Scarborough and Brampton. Police say all incidents occurred in the early morning hours and no injuries were reported. York Regional Police spokesman Lisa Moskaluk says investigators believe "the incidents are connected and are targeted due to the similarities" between them.
