The RCMP have held a media briefing Thursday, November 26, 2015, to seek information about two men seen acting suspiciously near the Rogers Centre on August. The Mounties said in a news release they want to identify the men who were spotted by a member of the public exhibiting ‘suspicious behaviour’ on the John Street Bridge, south of Front Street at around 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 31. In their briefing, police said there is no need for concern but even so they want to know the names of these two men just to be safe.
PM WAS THERE THAT DAY
Supt. Lise Crouch
Supt. Lise Crouch spoke at a news conference in Milton. She said police have turned to the public with in hope of identifying the men so they can rule out the possibility of criminal intentions. Crouch said police are “pursuing all avenues” to find the men. “A passerby observed two males exhibiting suspicious behaviour while on the John Street bridge in the area of the Rogers Centre.” Prime Minister Stephen Harper was at the Rogers Centre on the same afternoon. He was watching batting practice before the Toronto Blue Jays played the Cleveland Indians. At the time they were spotted, the Toronto Blue Jays were playing an afternoon game at the Rogers Centre.
IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING
The images show persons who are described as 20 and 30 years with a medium build and brown skin. One of the men was wearing a green and white striped shirt with red trim, blue jeans, blue Adidas shoes with yellow laces and a watch. He was carrying a backpack and sunglasses. The other man was wearing a blue and yellow striped shirt with purple stripes, dark blue jeans, blue Puma shoes with yellow laces, a watch and sunglasses that were hanging on his shirt buttons. Such briefings and concerns, which were unknown before the present era of terrorism, are facilitated by programs which ask the public to report suspicious things. They often called If You See Something, Say Something.
