Two men, woman nabbed by cops for defacing GO coaches

Police collaboration has nabbed two men 21 and 28 and a woman 21 in connection with the defacement of GO train coaches both inside and outside on the east line. Pictures released by Metrolinx show mischievous scribbling on several cars. An undercover operation involving Toronto and Durham police led to the arrests, according to Metrolinx spokesperson Anne Marie Aikins. Suspects were seen on security cameras and cops were able to figure out their movements and lay in wait. They call their arrest circumstances a stakeout.

Leaside Facebook buy and sell for those who live outside?

Susan Barrett

There is lively discussion on the Facebook page Leaside Community about just who should be permitted to engage in buying and selling on the account. Leasider Sue Barrett writes that she did not care for the position of another Leaside member who told an outsider that the page was for Leaside people only. She wrote: “As I do most mornings I got the kids out the door and before getting on with my day I grab my phone to check the weather, news, Facebook, etc. There was a “for sale” post. The first comment was; “Do you live in Leaside?” The seller responded saying no, but that she was willing to meet up. The Leasider then told her that this page is only for people who live in Leaside. Then went on to post a second post telling her she wasn’t allowed to be in the Leaside Moms Buy/Sell FB group either. The seller responded okay”  Barrett say she asked the Leasider what made her do this. Her response was that she has seen the seller in a few other buy and sell groups and that she lived at Eglington & Oakwood. Barrett called this “just being a bully.” What’s your view.  Leaside Community

Crane towered over Bayview/Millwood Thursday morning

One lane of Millwood Road, east of Bayview was blocked by a rather large crane.  It was delivering what appears to be a new HVAC unit to the roof of the TD Canada Trust branch on the south-east corner.  Easy does it!
