BURLINGTON, ON August 16, 2012 The Regional Police got a call from the Fido store at the Burlington Mall to report a theft. This was slick – they’ll get caught – eventually.
On August 12th, mid-afternoon, an unknown female suspect entered the Fido cellular phone store at the Burlington Mall. The store clerk began assisting the woman. Soon after, an unknown black male suspect and an unknown white male suspect entered the store. The white man approached the store clerk and told her that the black man required assistance picking out a phone. While the store clerk spoke to the black man with her back to the white male and female, the white man entered the back room with the female’s black and white striped bag and proceeded to grab numerous cellular phones and place them in the bag. When the white male exited the back room, he handed the bag back to the woman and the three suspects left the store together.
4S iPhones – a popular item.. If you get an offer of a good deal – think twice.
This crew had obviously “cased the joint” and knew where the inventory was.
Stolen items include: Five 16 Gigabit 4s white iPhones; four 16 Gigabit 4s black iPhones; and one 64 Gigabit 4s white iPhone.
Suspect #1 is described as: female, possibly of aboriginal descent, approximately 5ft5, approximately 140 lbs, with a heavy build. The suspect appeared to be approximately 30 to 35 years of age, with black hair. She was wearing a black shirt, blue jeans, brown knee high boots, with a black and white bag on her right shoulder.
Suspect #2 is described as: male, black, approximately 6ft, with a slim build. The suspect appeared to be approximately 20 to 25 years of age, dark haired, with a shaved head. He was wearing a grey long sleeve zipper hoodie, blue jeans, dark shoes, and a large wrist watch on his left wrist.
Suspect #3 is described as: male, white with a tanned complexion, approximately 6ft, with a heavy build. The suspect appeared to be 200 lbs, 25 to 30 years of age, dark haired, with a shaved head. He was wearing diamond earrings in each ear, a white golf shirt with a diamond pattern, white and neon striped shorts, and a loafer style dark shoe.
Those are pretty good descriptions. When the police eventually apprehend this crew – they will be identified. If you get an opportunity to buy a cell phone that seems too good to be true – now you know where that telephone may have come from.
