Details of recent crime in our area


Break in on Fairmont last week also by the basement window.

Guy who came to our Hickory St door on Saturday June 9th was asking for ventolin ( ashtma puffer) for his 8 yr old daughter. He claimed to be looking after a neighbour's house for the weekend. Gave a long song and dance about forgeting his wallet in his work truck near Bayshore and didn't have money to pick up a ventolin prescription on Rideau St.

 Caucasian male late forties/ early fifties with tan. Short salt and pepper hair. Approx 5'10, 150lbs. He was wearing a torn neon green t-shirt. Introduced himself as Tom Jr. Drove off in a dark green convertible that may have been parked around the corner for a quick get-away. He approached the neighbour across the street that morning.

 I called the police and reported the incident. My neighbour did not report the incident with "ventolin" guy immediately but ended up calling police on Wed June 13th when she arrived home at night to find a different guy sitting on her back patio in the dark. He scooted off when confronted. She reported the ventolin incident at the time of reporting the patio incident. The police think that "ventolin" guy may have been scoping the houses and is known to police ( getting money from you to fill the prescription is a bonus!) . They think that it is possible that "patio" guy may be working with him. I don't have a clear description of patio guy.

Hi, We live on Reid Av and today (June 14) our house was broken into, despite a car in the driveway and a large dog at home. The police officer mentioned that a home on Spadina was also broken into today. Both instances had an entry via the rear window. Please pass this along to our Civic Hospital neighbours and remember to lock all doors and windows!

PLEASE ALERT YOUR NEIGHBOURS OF THE RECENT CRIME ACTIVITY.

  1. We live on nolan and the same man described above came to out door saturday june 9th with the inhaler story. I sent him off and called the police (not 911 but the other number for reporting incidents/suspicious activity). She said he did not conduct a crime and so she did not file a report. Our Constable had suggested we call about any weird activity so I was disappointed that calling that day didn't achieve anything. Thanks for these updates.

  2. If he is known to police are they searching for him in hopes to charge him for something?
