Black four door sedan – with a spoiler – do you know of one ? Police would like to hear from you.

By Staff

BURLINGTON, ON  October 21, 2011  The police need your help in locating a vehicle that struck a 12-yr-old girl, at the intersection of Appleby Line and Lakeshore Road, Burlington early in October.

It was 4:30 pm. In the afternoon, the girl had just exited her school bus and was walking westbound across Appleby Line when a vehicle travelling west on Lakeshore Road, turned north onto Appleby Line and struck her.

The vehicle ran over the girl’s foot, causing her to fall to the ground and scrape one of her knees.  As a direct result of being struck, the girl sustained a fractured foot.

The driver of the vehicle stopped briefly, but subsequently left the scene prior to police arrival. The police are looking for a male, non-white, 45-55 years old, short black hair (spiky), wrinkly face, with a high-pitched voice.  The driver was wearing blue jeans and a jogging style ‘Adidas’ jacket.

The vehicle is a black, 4-door sedan, with a spoiler on back.

The driver of the vehicle knew what he had done – he could have and should have remained at the scene of the accident.  For failing to do so – he just may spend some of his time in a jail cell – that will only happen if he is apprehended – and that will only happen if you help.  Keep your streets safe – make the call if you know anyone who drives a black four dour sedan with a spoiler on the back.  Police will take it from there.

Anyone with information on this or any other crime is asked to contact Detective John Ophoven at 905 825-4747 x2307, or Crime Stoppers at 1 800 222 TIPS(8477), the web at www.haltoncrimestoppers.com or by texting “Tip201” with your message to 274637(crime).

This was slick – this was really slick. The Jag is probably in a container on its way to Yugoslavia.

BURLINGTON, ON  October 14, 2100 The Halton Regional Police seek the public’s assistance in identifying a car theft suspect.  And if you’re offered a good deal on a 2007 Jaguar – call the police.

Get the picture.  It is a Tuesday, October 11, 2011 to be exact at 2:45 p.m. A man enters a car dealership on the  South Service Road and Bronte Road, Oakville.

While there the man steals a set of keys and walks out into the dealer parking lot and drives off with a car.  How did the man manage to lift the keys off whatever hook they were on ?  No one at the dealership is saying and the police didn’t provide that level of detail.  All anyone is saying is that the last the people at the dealership saw was the car being driven off the lot and heading west.

By using the cameras that track all movement along the QEW the police were able to track the car until it exited at Eastport Drive, Hamilton.

 

A 2007 Jaguar XJR - black, last seen speeding west on QEW - exiting at Westport.

The vehicle was a black, 2007 Jaguar XJR.  When stolen it had an Ontario dealer licence plate of 960 DMY affixed to it.

The man is described as white, early 20’s, very short dark hair, 5’8″, 135 lbs, wearing large sunglasses, grey dress shirt with a black tie, dark pants (no belt) and wearing skateboard type shoes that were black with a unique light blue design.

Detectives in Oakville are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a man responsible for the recent theft of a vehicle.  That Jag was in a container on its way to Yugoslavia before the police had fully completed typing out there reports.

Another heavy equipment theft in Burlington. Insurance rates may rise soon. Crime Stoppers could use your help.

By Staff

BURLINGTON, ON September 29, 2011 –   The construction industry took another hit the past few days.  A loader was stolen from a Longmoor Drive construction site

The equipment was valued at more than $170,000 so you know it wasn’t taken away in a wheel barrow.  If you’re offered a chance to buy a 2008 John Deere Loader, Model 544J, take a pass on the offer and give Crime Stoppers at 1 800 222-8477 (TIPS) or through the web at www.haltoncrimestoppers.com or by texting “Tip201” with your message to 274637 (crimes)

There are always equipment thefts from construction sites – the contractors need to find ways to better secure the equipment at night and on weekends and the police might make a practice of driving by known construction sites regularly but randomly as well.

Perhaps the police could provide a service that allowed contractors to call in and let police know there is equipment on a site.  They could then do drive byes and keep an eye on things.  The thieves will figure out the sites are being watched and look for easier picking.
