SUV crashes into jewelry shop
An SUV crashed into a jewelry shop in Park Ex on Saturday evening. The driver or drivers stole some jewelry and ran, but unless that was a stolen vehicle, won’t the cops know who they are?
Monday, CBC has a video from the interior of the store and quotes from the store owner about wanting more police presence. Nothing yet about identifying the vehicle or any arrests.

only if the cops decide to stop being lazy for a while and go to some lengh to collect nearby CCTV footage, I guess

Wouldn’t the license plate be a clue?

Sure would! Especially since the store’s security footage shows the plate as it backed in. And as they seem to have left the car there, there’s also the VIN.
yasymbologist, I get that it’s fashionable to hate on the cops, but do you really think such acts are not investigated?

I admit I cannot help trashingt cops, because my previous car was totalled in a hit-and-run when I was driving carefully along Ave du mont-royal on a snowy day, with my then-4-year-old son sitting in the back. it was a huge truck trying to overtake using the wrong-direction lane, and its plate was partly covered by snow. I asked my insurance agent if that drunken chauffard was finally found so he could take the driving lessons he skipped, considering there were storefront cameras everywhere and his truck is damaged too. She didn’t laught but told me just forget about it.
But I also have to say almost every single police officers I ever met in person was very nice and decent.
