In the farthest corner of 53 Division a distance from South Bayview, an 18 year old woman was mugged at about 10.30p.m. on Friday, April 25, 2014. It’s not clear why the report is coming forward three weeks after the event. She was in the area of Queen Street West and Spadina Road when she was approached by a man. He grabbed her ipod and a struggle ensued. She was pushed to the ground and the man escaped with the ipod into an awaiting vehicle. No injuries were sustained by the victim. Police are requesting the assistance of the public in identifying the following described person in connection with this offence. Description of Suspect: Male, black, 17 to 18 years, 5’7”, 150 pounds, brown eyes, black hair, thin build. This is another example to all those with mobile devices that there is a criminal industry of considerable scope made up of people cruising the streets in the evenings looking for potential victims who are alone.
