Two Georgina men have been arrested in connection to a break-in theft at a popular gaming store in Newmarket. Enter the battlefield on Davis Drive was broken into back in September and a variety of rare playing cards were taken. On October 1st, the Barrie Police arrested two suspects at another game shop in Barrie who allegedly were trying to sell the stolen merchandise. Police have declined to release the suspects’ names at this time as an investigation is ongoing.
The suspects have both been charged with one count each of possession of property by crime over $5,000. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the provincial government is doing their part to help. Yesterday, it was announced that Ontario has lowered the age for regular mammogram breast screenings so that now all women 40 or older can self-refer for the service. According to Ontario Health Minister Sylvie Jones, breast cancer affects 1 in 9 women in Ontario and by lowering the minimum age, the province hopes to save more lives.
The new age restriction comes into effect immediately. Former Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygaard has been denied bail as he continues to appeal his sexual assault convictions and his 11-year prison sentence. An Ontario Court Appeal Judge threw out the bail application saying that the 83-year-old’s appeal appears to be weak and that he is at a flight risk since he faces charges in other jurisdictions outside of Toronto. Last year, Nygaard was convicted on four counts of sexual assault after several women came forward with allegations that ranged from the 1980s all the way to the mid-2000s.
