CP24- York Region Crime Statistics
MacSween said the region has also seen a 92 per cent increase in shootings, with a total of 46 in the region since January.
“Almost all of the guns being used in these crimes are illegal handguns, many of which are being smuggled across the border from the U.S.,” MacSween said. “The surge in gun violence can be attributed to organized crime rings who are obtaining and using illegal handguns to commit a number of offences.”

Police have made 90 arrests across the carnival, including for possession of an offensive weapon, assaults on an emergency worker and possession with intent to supply drugs.

The Perfect Crime
From private communication this morning;
I have had a learning week. Vehicle stolen july 2 and just recovered July 10… my car has more evidence in it than one can imagine, but lack of police has them not interested…
Maybe I should look on Amazon for a fingerprint lifting kit..
At least I now know what they can’t lift fingerprints from. All those crime shows on TV etc are wrong..
You cannot lift prints from a can of any type of spray or vape machine or skateboard.
I am so much wiser.
…then when I told them that the car had no plates on it and that if the thieves were going to use my plates on another vehicle I wanted them to know. I was told to just go on the saskatoonpolice website and put in my file number and add that information.
I would have thought while I was speaking with them on the phone while they had my file opened they could add it in.
no.
