‘Like something out of Grand Theft Auto': Father of six recounts chaotic east Hamilton carjacking
Magok Lam Jock was inching through rush-hour traffic on Kenilworth Avenue North, windows down and music playing, when he noticed a dishevelled man weaving between a cluster of cars ahead. 'I thought it was a panhandler,' he said. 'Maybe he was going to ask me for money.' But the man wasn't after spare change. He wanted a new set of wheels — and a quick ride out of town. Minutes earlier on June 2, according to Hamilton police, the man was involved in a two-vehicle crash at Main Street East and Tuxedo Avenue , just down the road from Kenilworth. Police said the man had a crashed a stolen Toyota Camry into an SUV. Once officers arrived and approached to help, he made a break for it. The man ran about 100 or so metres down Main, past a pizza shop and an advance loans store, before bending the corner on Kenilworth and darting into a buildup of 5 p.m. traffic. Eventually, he came across a grey Toyota Highlander — and an oblivious Lam Jock. A day after he was carjacked, Magok Lam Jock's Toyota Highlander was found abandoned and heavily damaged. With no key left behind — and the SUV only having one-way insurance — the unemployed father-of-six is now without a vehicle. 'He came up to my window, leaned in and grabbed my neck,' the 42-year-old father-of-six recalled. 'I realized then he wasn't homeless looking for money — he was looking for cars with windows down.' What ensued was a frantic, close-quarters altercation Lam Jock likened to something out of a video game. As Lam Jock's foot slipped off the brake, he said the man kept hold of his neck, walking with the moving vehicle while other cars slowly drove past. After a struggle, the car stopped. Lam Jock said the attacker managed to unbuckle his seatbelt. A few seconds later, he was on the concrete, ripped out of the driver's seat and hurled onto the road. 'It was so quick I had no time to think,' Lam Jock told The Spectator. By the time he processed what happened, the man was pulling a U-turn and fleeing north up Kenilworth. The phoneless Lam Jock — he left his cell in the cupholder — stood on the street bewildered until he spotted an out-of-breath police officer who had run toward the carjacking from the crash scene. When he called his wife with a borrowed phone to explain, she almost didn't believe him. 'Like literally something out of GTA (Grand Theft Auto),' said Candice D'Arrigo, Lam Jock's wife. 'I came home and told our kids daddy got carjacked and even they said, 'Oh you're lying, you're lying. That only happens in movies.'' On June 3, Hamilton police found the Highlander abandoned near Belmont and Roxborough avenues , its headlight blown out and front end mangled. Police said Friday the vehicle was spotted significantly damaged in Niagara a few hours after the brazen theft. 'A total loss,' D'Arrigo said, noting her husband's car, an early 2010s model, was on one-way insurance that didn't cover repairs or rentals. And even if it was insured, the carjacker left no key behind. 'It's not leaving the scrapyard.' The loss couldn't come at a worse time for the unemployed Lam Jock, according to D'Arrigo. 'It's his only car. He needs it to go out and look for jobs,' she said, adding a GoFundMe has been set up for those able to help the family. Hamilton police continue to look for a suspect in the chaotic crash-turned-carjacking. Anyone with information or camera footage of either incident is asked to contact investigators at 905-546-2930 .

Officials launch investigation into false claims of New World screwworm in Missouri
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An investigation is underway after rumors began swirling about a New World screwworm in Missouri, according to the Missouri Department of Agriculture (MDA). The Missouri State Highway Patrol's Rural Crimes Investigative Unit (RCIU) and the Livestock and Farm Protection Task Force said they are aware of a false statement made last week regarding New World screwworm in the state. Woman says former firefighter sexually abused her, fears he will avoid punishment According to the USDA, New World screwworm is a devastating pest that can infest livestock, pets, wildlife, occasionally birds – and in rare cases, people; when New World screwworm fly larvae (maggots) burrow into the flesh of a living animal, they cause serious, often deadly damage to the animal. The two groups, along with Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, are currently investigating this matter, according to the MDA. According to the MDA, this investigation is the result of a request on May 28 from Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey and MDA Director Chris Chinn to discover the culprit and determine if this was an act with malicious intent to cause panic in agricultural markets. On May 27, the MDA said a false press release was sent to a northwest Missouri radio station. The information was quickly discovered to be false—but not before setting off a frenzy of animal health concerns, market scare and detriment to consumer trust, according to the MDA. This case is considered an open and active investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Missouri State Highway Patrol's Division of Drug and Crime Control at 573-526-6122. RCIU focuses solely on the investigation of crimes unique to the agricultural industry and farming communities within the state of Missouri. Formed in 2009, RCIU was designed after successful undercover efforts that served to address increasing incidents of specific agriculture-related crimes.
