UPDATE: Jan 28, 2017

Charges against Rejean and Maxime Lavigne have been dropped.  According to Halton Regional Police Inspector Anthony Odoardi the Supreme Court of Canada’s 2016 ruling on excessive delays in bringing cases to trial prompted the Crown to withdraw the charges.

A third suspect,  Pierre Poirer, was scheduled for a preliminary hearing in Brampton court on January 9, 2017 but pled guilty and was given a conditional sentence of six months to be served in Quebec.  The fourth suspect, William Nolin of Niagara, died before his case could be tried.

There’s more fallout from the so-called blowtorch bandit raids on automated bank machines in Ontario and Quebec.

 

Three of the suspects were in court today on charges of carrying out midnight raids on bank machines in a crime spree that hauled in well over a million dollars. They men were arrested by Halton and Toronto police yesterday. And now, the fourth suspect has been arrested. And at least in part, police information indicates a family operation. Al Sweeney has more.
