Police safety meeting recalls rescue of woman, 94, last year

A meeting today in Thorncliffe Park is a reminder that families and friends should always be watching out for elderly citizens, especially if they live alone.This meeting was held by PC Alex Li of the 53 Division Crime Prevention Unit to review strategies for Senior Safety/Frauds/Elder Abuse. It was organized by the Community Unity Alliance with funding from New Horizons for Seniors Program. In April, 2014, a Thorncliffe senior was saved by the alert work of a pharmacist Selina Chan-Ying and a deliveryman who works for her from bullying and theft of people who had forced their  way into the senior’s apartment. Citizens save Thorncliffe Park woman from elder abuse
