Durham Police – Theft Initiative in Ajax Nets Several Suspects at LCBO Outlets

In Police Blotter

A seven-week campaign targeting thefts at two Ajax LCBO outlets resulted in 25 suspects being charged.

Over a seven-week period beginning on January 15, 2020, plainclothes officers attended two LCBO outlets located on Kingston Road East and Bayly Street West in Ajax. Working closely with LCBO Resource Protection Investigators, officers focused on thefts by customers attending the stores. Also, a list of previous theft suspects caught on surveillance cameras was circulated to the investigative team.

A number of thefts occurred while plainclothes officers were in the store – resulting in quick arrests. Incidents were also investigated involving other LCBO locations through the Region in which suspects were identified and charged by investigators involved in the project.

Officers arrested fourteen individuals and issued arrest warrants for 11 others, laying 171 criminal charges including: Assault a Peace Officer; Possession of Controlled Substances; Possession of Property Obtained by Crime; Theft; Breach and Fail to Appear.

Anyone with new information about this initiative is asked to contact D/Cst. MacIver of the West Division Investigative Services Unit at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 2564.

Anonymous tips can be made to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or on the website at www.durhamregionalcrimestoppers.ca and tipsters are eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.
