Bag containing live eels found in Toronto mall washroom

TORONTO — A bag of live eels isn’t something you see expect to find in a public washroom, but that’s what happened Sunday evening at a mall in east-end Toronto.

Scarborough Town Centre Mall marketing director Jai Lee says a customer reported seeing two eels in the washroom and security staff went in to collect the slithery fish.

She says one of the eels had escaped from a bag, but was quickly captured and the pair of eels was taken to a nearby pet shop that specializes in fish.

Lee says they don’t believe it was a prank.

She says the eels were a variety that is sold as food and it’s believed a customer simply forgot the bag in the washroom.
