Hamilton man, 20, charged after 2024 fatal car crash to linked tensions between high school students
A Hamilton man has been charged in connection to a crash on the Lincoln M. Alexander Parkway last October that resulted in the death of a 15-year-old boy. The 20-year-old man is charged with dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death and bodily harm, and criminal negligence causing death and bodily harm, police said in a news release Thursday. The crash happened on Oct. 11, 2024, just after 2:30 p.m. on the highway's eastbound lanes near the Upper Gage Avenue overpass. A Toyota SUV with four occupants and a Ford car with three occupants were driving at "a high rate of speed" when the Ford collided with the Toyota, police said. The driver of the Toyota lost control, the SUV rolled a few times and a person was ejected. Three of the occupants were taken to hospital with serious injuries, where one died, police said. The driver of the Ford fled the scene. "After a lengthy and thorough investigation, the Hamilton Police Collision Reconstruction Unit has arrested the driver of the Ford Focus," said police Thursday. Police had initially charged an 18-year-old male with dangerous operation causing bodily harm and death, but the Crown later withdrew charges, said police spokesperson Trevor McKenna. In the days following the crash, police said they believed the Ford and another car were chasing the Toyota in the parking lot at St. Jean de Brebeuf Secondary School moments before going on the Linc. Police said they believed the collision was connected to a "series of escalating incidents" between St. Jean de Brebeuf and Nora Frances Henderson Secondary School students.

Police search for 5 people who allegedly targeted elderly people at ATMs in 'distraction' thefts
Three men and two women are wanted by Toronto police for allegedly targeting elderly people at ATMs, stealing their bank cards and withdrawing money from their accounts. Police have released photos of five suspects wanted for "distraction theft and fraud," hoping the public will help to identify them. Police said they received five reports from Oct. 9, 2024 to Feb. 28, 2025 of elderly people being robbed throughout the Toronto area. In each case, police said the thieves approached an elderly person while they were using an ATM. The person's bank card was stolen when they were distracted. The suspects used the stolen bank card after each theft to withdraw money from the person's bank account. Each incident involved two to four suspects. The first suspect is described as male, 30 to 45 years old, 5 foot 10 inches to 6 foot 2 inches, with a medium build, dark coloured hair, and a full beard. The second suspect is described as male, 35 to 50 years old, 5 foot 8 inches to 5 foot 10 inches with a medium build, dark coloured hair, and a beard. The third suspect is described as male, 30 to 45 years old, 5 foot 7 inches to 5 foot 10 inches, with a medium build, dark coloured hair, and a goatee. The fourth suspect is described as female, 30 to 45 years old, 5 foot 2 inches to 5 foot 8 inches, with a medium build. The fifth suspect is described as female, 30 to 50 years old, 5 foot 5 inches to 5 foot 8 inches, with a heavy build, and long brown hair. Be aware of people around you when using ATM: police Police are reminding the public to do the following when using ATMs: Do not let anyone distract you during your transaction at an ATM or while making a debit or credit purchase in a store, even if they may appear to be a helpful stranger. Be aware of others around you when using an ATM. Avoid using an ATM if you see suspicious people nearby. Remember to always shield your PIN at an ATM or while making a debit or credit purchase. When you've finished a transaction, take your cash quickly and discreetly put your card away before leaving the ATM. Do not use an ATM if there are signs of tampering or if suspicious devices are visible.
