Durham police say they have made 64 arrests and laid 155 charges during a safe shop initiative to stop retail theft. They say the five-week initiative, which ran between Nov. 10 and Dec. 16, was focused on retail theft enforcement. Police say the east division community response unit, alongside front-line officers and the LCBO resource protection unit worked together to identify high theft locations across Durham region.
Footage has been released by police of a driver dangerously drifting around a roundabout at an illegal car meet, putting watching crowds at risk of being seriously injured. Daniel Broomfield, 23, from Southampton, was sentenced at Winchester crown court on 25 September to a 27-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, having pleaded guilty to dangerous driving. He was also banned from driving for 12 months and ordered to carry out unpaid work and a rehabilitation programme.
The shooting, which also resulted in serious injuries to two others, took place early Saturday morning on the college town's main street. One individual, not from the city, got into a verbal dispute and then opened fire toward the people he was confronting. The three individuals he hit, however, were bystanders. In a letter sent the same day as the shooting, Choi called on city and county leaders to bolster the police presence and prosecute crimes to the fullest extent of the law.
