York Regional Police are warning people to exercise caution when arranging to buy or sell items through online marketplaces, following two violent incidents Wednesday night in Vaughan. In the first incident, two sellers arranged to meet a prospective buyer at what they believed was the buyer's residence to complete the sale of a computer, but upon entering the backyard, the sellers were confronted by the actual homeowner, who told them to leave. During the encounter, police alleged that the suspect — posing as the buyer — showed what was believed to be a firearm and fled the area on foot without the computer. Shortly after, in a separate incident, a victim met with a supposed buyer for the sale of an expensive computer graphics card. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. During the meeting, an altercation occurred and the victim was struck with a firearm and the suspect fled without obtaining the item. In both incidents, the suspect description was similar and investigators believe the same individual may be responsible. Police is encouraging residents when buying or selling items online to use the designated Buy and Sell Exchange Zones located at YRP district headquarters as they are monitored and provide a safer alternative to meeting strangers in unfamiliar locations.
