Warning given over online deals

Police are reminding the populace to be careful about online purchases after a man was stabbed while trying to sell an iPad. The item is vague on safe places to do such exchanges, but Tuesday’s Global piece on this incident names only police station 20, on Ste‑Catherine near Bishop, and station 46 in Anjou. The pages for these stations on the SPVM site say nothing about this option, though.

It wasn’t so long ago that there were a couple of incidents in my neighbourhood where guys trying to sell phones via online platforms, and taking measures to do the exchange in public, were nonetheless stabbed in the neck by a guy who was later arrested.
