Sikh trucker killed 16

WARMINGTON: Toronto Police want public’s trust while they once again investigate themselves

When it comes to public trust in Toronto Police going forward, the public is in a position where you are just going to have to trust them.

In theory, the buck stop may stop at the Chief’s office when seven of his officers, and one retired cop, are charged in a conspiracy to commit murder and corruption case that saw a house of a corrections officer shot up, allegedly thanks to information leaked to hitmen.

The criminals behind a shocking rise in cat theft

Since 2023, the number of ‘catnappings’ in the UK has shot up. Now reports have emerged of mass-breeding programmes using abducted moggies

In October 2023, Agata Losa, a psychologist from south-east London, found that her Bengal cat, Betty, had been stolen. She had recently moved to the area when Betty went out into the back garden one day and disappeared.

“In the morning, she still wasn’t there and I started panicking,” says Losa, who, appropriately enough, lives in Catford. “For the three weeks she was missing, I went out looking for her, I put up hundreds of posters, I posted up to 10 times a day on local Facebook groups and the Nextdoor app. Despite doing everything I could, there was nothing.”

A neighbour advised her to keep an eye on Gumtree and other sites where pets are sold, and lo and behold, there was a “badly photoshopped” advert for Betty, with a list price of £900.

Doping chiefs investigate claims ski jumpers used injections to enlarge penises

Anti-doping chiefs have said they will look into extraordinary claims that Olympic ski jumpers have injected acid into their penises to enhance performance.

While Witold Banka delivered his warning here in Milan, host of the Winter Games, on Thursday with a wry smile in response to one of the more unusual questions he has faced during his presidency at the World Anti-Doping Agency, there may be some legitimacy to the concerns.
