Armed Robbery at Richmond Hill Convenience Store
A Daisy Mart convenience store in Richmond Hill was the target of an armed robbery. The clerk on duty was not physically harmed but surrendered cash after having a firearm pointed at them. The alleged robbers were described as two males between the ages of fifteen and twenty. York Regional Police requested tips from the public to assist in identifying the suspects. Robbery under Section 344 of the Criminal Code involves theft accompanied by violence or threats of violence, and is distinct from theft or fraud. A conviction for armed robbery carries a mandatory minimum sentence of four years when a firearm is used. Anyone facing robbery charges in Richmond Hill or York Region requires experienced criminal defence representation.
Sexual Assault on York Region Transit Bus in Richmond Hill
York Regional Police investigated a sexual assault that began on a York Region Transit bus in the Richmond Hill area. An individual boarded the bus and exposed himself to a passenger. After the passenger disembarked, the perpetrator followed and sexually assaulted them outside the bus. Police appealed to the public for tips to identify the offender. Sexual assault on public transit is treated with particular seriousness by courts. If you or someone you know has been charged with sexual assault in Richmond Hill or York Region, it is critical to retain a criminal defence lawyer immediately and avoid making any statement to police without legal advice.
