La policía de Brockville y la OPP East Region Tactics and Rescue Unit ejecutaron una orden de registro alrededor de las 8 p.m. del jueves, según la policía; una persona fue trasladada al hospital y fue declarada muerta. El Special Investigations Unit invocó su mandato y la OPP señaló que no dará más detalles mientras la SIU investiga.

  2. Tres personas acusadas en una investigación por armas vinculada a un tiroteo que involucra a la policía de Toronto. La Toronto Police Service informó que un joven de 23 años, otro de 19 y un menor de 17 enfrentan 42 cargos, incluidos ocupar un vehículo motorizado con un arma y manejo descuidado; las acusaciones siguieron a una persecución de un Mercedes que terminó con un agente disparando y un conductor de 19 años muerto en el lugar. La SIU reportó que cinco vehículos policiales sin distintivos participaron en la operación y se recuperaron dos armas.

  3. Dos jóvenes de 18 años acusados de 37 cargos, incluido asesinato en primer grado, por el tiroteo en Salsa on St. Clair. La policía de Toronto dijo que los arrestos se relacionan con el tiroteo del festival callejero del 11 de julio que dejó dos muertos y cinco heridos; unas 13,000 personas asistieron al festival. Investigadores revisaron cientos de horas de video y entrevistaron testigos como parte de la pesquisa, indicó la policía.

  4. La RCMP (Real Policía Montada de Canadá) incauta más de 4.5 millones en cocaína; tres personas acusadas. Los Mounties dijeron que la investigación destapó una operación de tráfico a gran escala en el Golden Horseshoe y condujo a una búsqueda el 8 de julio en un condominio de Toronto donde se arrestaron a dos hombres; un tercer hombre fue detenido cerca. La policía también ejecutó órdenes en Hamilton y confiscó aproximadamente 165,000 en efectivo y joyas que se cree son producto del delito.

  5. La Peel Regional Police recupera casi 800,000 en camiones robados y equipos informáticos en Brampton. Investigadores localizaron cuatro vehículos comerciales robados y remolques cerca de Heart Lake Road y Countryside Drive el 22 de julio y encontraron dos envíos de equipos informáticos valuados en más de 680,000; los remolques tienen un valor aproximado de 105,000. No se han identificado sospechosos, informó Peel Regional Police.

🎨 Comunidad y cultura

  1. El Aquatarium de Brockville recibe tres crías de nutria nacidas allí; el grupo ahora suma ocho nutrias. La conservadora Liz Harder dijo que Mayble dio a luz a tres crías de unos cinco meses que seguirán dependiendo de su madre durante varios meses más; el Aquatarium había recibido antes cinco nutrias rescatadas de Louisiana. Las crías atraen visitantes y seguirán bajo cuidado cercano mientras maduran.

  2. Gata madre y seis cachorros recién nacidos hallados refugiándose bajo un patrullero de la OPP en North Bay. La OPP informó que los animales fueron descubiertos el 28 de julio dentro de un componente del vehículo, bajo el patrullero; Pet Save, PAWS y la Ontario SPCA ayudaron y los siete animales fueron llevados a cuidado. La SPCA informó que los siete están sanos y se espera que estén disponibles para adopción en los próximos meses.

  3. El diputado conservador Larry Brock renunciará el 18 de septiembre para regresar a la fiscalía de la Corona en Brantford. Brock, diputado por Brantford–Brant South–Six Nations, anunció en una publicación en redes sociales que dejará su escaño para volver a trabajar en la oficina del fiscal de la Corona de Brantford y que su salida provocará una elección parcial en el distrito del suroeste de Ontario. Brock fue elegido por primera vez en 2021 y se desempeñó como crítico de justicia del partido antes de una reorganización en junio.

  4. Nathan Rourke regresó y lanzó para 370 yardas en la victoria de los B.C. Lions sobre los Hamilton Tiger-Cats 27-24. Rourke se perdió dos partidos por una lesión en el hombro izquierdo y completó 22 de 39 pases, conectando touchdowns con Zander Horvath y Justin McInnis; el gol de campo de 24 yardas de Sean Whyte con 28 segundos por jugar selló la victoria. B.C. mejoró a 3-5 mientras Hamilton cayó a 3-6.

🌦️ Clima y vías

  1. Se confirman dos tornados EF0 en el suroeste de Ontario cerca de Lindsay y Woodstock. El Northern Tornadoes Project dijo que los tornados de Lindsay y Woodstock fueron valorados preliminarmente como EF0 con vientos estimados de 65–85 km/h; ambos mostraron sólo daños leves reportados y el proyecto no planeó enviar equipos de inspección de inmediato. Environment Canada emitió avisos de tornado para la zona de Woodstock citando vientos dañinos, granizo grande y lluvias intensas.

  2. El Township of Southwold declara estado de emergencia tras fuertes lluvias e inundaciones. Las autoridades dijeron el viernes que múltiples carreteras estaban cerradas y nombraron rutas afectadas, incluidas Burwell Road, McDiarmid Line y Oneida Road; la remediación de emergencia comenzó con cuadrillas desplegadas desde las 6 a.m. del sábado y las restauraciones completas podrían tardar hasta dos semanas. El municipio pidió a los residentes con sótanos inundados que coloquen los objetos dañados en la acera; se dará información sobre la recolección el lunes.
