CFN – On December 18, 2014, at approximately 7:30am, a 101 year old man was alone in his apartment in a residential building located in the 1-100 block of Durham Private, when a male suspect buzzed in at the reception door identifying himself as a City of Ottawa employee.
The suspect was provided entry into the secure building by the victim. The suspect attended the victim’s apartment and asked for money at the door. When the victim declined, the suspect forced his way into the apartment. The victim was bound by the suspect.
The suspect then searched the apartment and left with undisclosed items. Once the suspect had left, the victim was able to free himself and contact Police. The victim did not suffer any injuries.
The suspect is described as being a Caucasian male, approximately 50 years of age, fair complexion, a prominent nose, short grey hair, and he possibly wore glasses. He was wearing a driver’s style cap, a black winter jacket, black pants, black boots, and black gloves. The suspect also carried a black bag that had a strap over his head.

I hope they catch this guy. Is no one safe any longer?
A dirty, low life scum bag and so many like that nowadays. Your home is not as safe as it used to be. Society today is mighty sick.
Jules check your email.
I checked my e-mail a while ago and just a lot of junk that I deleted. If there is something from you Jamie please e-mail me again. Thanks. I will go back on now to check.
The Canadian crime rate now is the lowest it’s been since the sixties. Bad stuff still happens, but it’s happening a lot less.
Do a net search for “Canadian crime rates”.
Hopefully with his picture out there this guy will be caught and feel the full extent of the justice system.
Folks do you know that where the elderly gentleman lives is in one of Ottawa’s prime or should I say prestigious neighborhoods New Edinborough where Margaret Trudeau has a house. These things happen in the best of places. New Edinborough is a neighborhood near Rockliffe where the PM, ambassadors and other very wealthy people live.
Criminals don’t care where you live Jules. They probably thought this gentleman was easy pickings.
That is so true Hugger. I feel very sorry for the elderly gentleman. People go through this in all neighborhoods and no place is safe. My building has cameras all over as well and again it can happen anywhere. Look at where Justine Trudope lives and someone just opened an unlocked back door and some people want him as PM. LOL LOL. ROLF! Justine thinks that the economy will look after itself. No tanks even with crazy Harpoon Harpo I think that I will stick with him until someone more sane comes around. LOL LOL. ROLF!
