Crime

Just call them the alleged Honey Pot Five.

Investigators claim the infamous Porsche girl – accused of being involved in a sneaky auto theft ring – wasn’t working alone.

And 18-year-old Sarah Badshaw is now no longer alone before the courts, either.

Did she sing?

In the 57-page indictment against Mayor Eric Adams, on which Haley and David report, the five statutory charges are set forth at the end, starting at page 49. The penalties aggregate to a potential 45 years’ imprisonment.

To be clear, that is the statutory maximum (the minimum is zero time). Federal sentencing is controlled by the Sentencing Guidelines. For conviction on some of all these charges, the guidelines would no doubt call for a stiff penalty, but would unlikely be close to 45 years.

Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted by a grand jury on charges connected to a federal probe that has shaken his administration, sources told The Post.

The historic indictment is expected to be unsealed Thursday by US Attorney Damian Williams, according to the sources. The news was first reported by The New York Times.

Adams will surrender to authorities early next week, sources said.

Driven by fake credit applications and identity theft, automotive fraud has surged 54 percent from a year ago, a report from Equifax Canada has found.

“That kind of increase really indicates there’s a specific targeted attack to that sector,” said Carl Davies, head of fraud and identity at Equifax Canada, in an interview.

When a justice of the peace grants an accused bail, it’s no guarantee he or she will remain free, pending the outcome of their case.

Sarah Badshaw found this out on Monday.

The good news for the alleged Porsche thief is she was granted bail in a Brampton courtroom Monday.

York Regional Police say 16 people, who were all out on release orders, are facing more than 1,500 charges between them in connection with several retail thefts at the LCBO and Home Depot.

Police said over a nine-month-long investigation between October 2023 and July 2024, Project Spartan found several suspects “who were believed to be involved in large-scale organized retail theft” across the region and the Greater Toronto Area.

Once an issue hits the suburbs, federal politicians tend to start paying attention—or at least they should if they have a long-term interest in staying elected. Suburbs are not only often swing ridings, but full of families, high-earning professionals, and seniors who are known to turn out to polls.

The trouble for politicians often is, by the time a historically urban crisis creeps into the suburbs, it’s festered so long, it’s now a systemic failure. This is the case with Canada’s suburban crime surge.
