Arrest Made in Robbery of Taxi Driver

14-35431

Within hours of the offence Kingston Police arrested a male believed to be responsible for the robbery and forcible confinement of a female cab driver from Amey’s Taxi.

At approximately 5:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 16 the victim received a male fare on Russell Street, who insisted sitting in the front seat against the wishes of the driver. His actions and utterances caused the driver concern and when they arrived in the area of Bath Road and Westdale Avenue she asked him to leave the taxi.

The accused refused and when the driver attempted to use the emergency alert button and microphone he grabbed her arms and confined her from seeking help. He then physically assaulted the victim and stole a quantity of cash. She received minor injuries in the process. When the victim demanded he leave her taxi the accused also threatened to cause her bodily harm.

When the accused finally got out of the vehicle the victim locked the doors and began to flee the area. The accused punched at the driver’s side window and chased after the taxi on foot for a short distance.

With the victim now able to alert fellow taxi drivers and Kingston Police, the area was quickly searched for the male but with negative results. A continued investigation by detectives led them to an apartment building in the 300-block area of Westdale Avenue at approximately noon, where the 25-year-old Kingston accused was located and arrested by members of the Criminal Investigation Division (CID) and Uniform Patrol for the offences of Robbery, Forcible Confinement and Uttering Threats to Cause Bodily Harm. He was transported to the Kingston Police station and held for a bail hearing the following day.

Kingston Police Raise Concern regarding Posting Unsubstantiated Information Online

14-34263

After a recent investigation that was determined to be unfounded Kingston Police is advising against posting and sharing potentially alarming information that has not been verified by legitimate sources.

At the beginning of November 2014 a Facebook post appeared locally from a female Kingston resident, advising of an attempted knifepoint abduction of a male teenager in the area of the Cataraqui Woods subdivision. The post said the teenager was grabbed by a male suspect but he was able to fight back and flee.

The post additionally stated, “I haven’t heard/seen anything on the news and nothing was announced at the school. This lack of communication is NOT helping to make people aware. Please SHARE THIS INFO!!”

At the time police became aware of the post it had been shared over 600 times. Concerned parents began contacting schools and police, asking for more information and what was being done. This left administrators of both organizations in a position where they were unaware of any situation and how to potentially respond to it.

Detectives were able to speak to the woman and determined she had received third-hand information that was never substantiated. While police understand the post was made with good intentions it unfortunately only caused unwarranted panic and alarm, and took a detective away from other legitimate case work for hours. The post has since been deleted by the user.

If a member of the public receives information that could constitute a community concern please attempt to verify with authorities before posting or sharing publicly on various social media platforms. Kingston Police does its best to notify the public of such occurrences through its website, official Facebook and Twitter accounts and more. The school boards in the Kingston and surrounding area also have positive working relationships with law enforcement and will often send home a community safety letter when concerns arise.

Please think before you post or share.

Kingston Police Mourns the Loss of Former Officer
