Echec au Crime et le service de police d’Ottawa demandent l’aide de la collectivité afin d’identifier les personnes responsable pour des vols et des détroussements survenant dans des endroits très achalandés.

Le Service de police d’Ottawa enquête un nombre croissant de vols et de détroussements survenant dans des endroits très achalandés où des dispositifs électroniques sont la cible des malfaiteurs.

Depuis le 1er octobre 2011, près de 35 vols simples et vols qualifiés ont été signalés, où un appareil électronique était particulièrement ciblé. Jusqu’ici cette année, les détroussements ont connu une hausse de 8% et les vols en groupe ont augmenté de 20% par rapport à la même période l’an dernier. Ceci se traduit par 46 vols en groupe et 13 détroussements de plus.

Dans bien des cas, les vols/ détroussements se passent dans des autobus d’ OC Transpo buses ou le voleur se sauve après avoir volé l’item ou a un arrêt d’OC Transpo lorsque le monde attendent pour au autobus. Bien souvent, les dispositifs sont simplement arrachés des mains des victimes sans méfiance. Toutefois, il est arrivé que des gens soient agressés lors de la commission d’un vol, augmentant la gravité du crime.

Si vous avez de l’information sur ce crime ou tout autre acte criminel veuillez appeler Échec au crime 613-233-TIPS (8477) ou sans frais au 1-800-222-8477. Rappeler vous qu’Échec au crime ne souscris pas à l’affichage numérique, nous n’enregistrons pas votre appel et vous n’êtes pas tenus de témoigner en cour. Si vos renseignements causent une arrestation ou une charge, vous pourriez avoir droit à une récompense jusqu’à $2000.

Conseil de prévention contre les vols de biens personnels et les attaques en bande à main armée

• Soyez conscient de votre environnement et évitez les secteurs isolés, surtout après la tombée du jour et lorsque vous retirez de l’argent d’un guichet automatique;
• Déplacez-vous en compagnie de plusieurs amis, autant que possible;
• Prenez soin de ne pas afficher par inadvertance des articles tels que des cellulaires ou des lecteurs de musique personnels; et
• Tenez quelqu’un au courant de vos déplacements et de l’heure à laquelle vous prévoyez être de retour à la maison.

Si vous êtes victime d’un vol en groupe ou d’un détroussement, les mesures suivantes vous sont conseillées:

• Ne résistez pas à vos agresseurs, car ils pourraient être armés, ce qui pourrait conduire à des blessures graves ou même la mort;
• Tâchez de mémoriser des détails comme les visages et l’habillement de vos agresseurs, ainsi que leur numéro de plaque, s’ils s’enfuient à bord d’un véhicule;
• Appelez le 911 aussitôt que possible ou si vous vous trouvez près d’une installation d’OC Transpo, recherchez une boîte d’appel d’urgence; et
• Si vous êtes étudiant et vous êtes victime d’un vol à l’école ou par quelqu’un de votre école, signalez l’incident aux autorités scolaires et au Service de police d’Ottawa.
