Death – Obituary – Accident and Crime News : One individual has been apprehended by Halton police in connection with a series of burglaries that targeted 30 residences across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. The search for three additional suspects is still ongoing. The arrest took place in Smithville, where Paul Nkrumah, a 36-year-old resident of Brampton, was found in possession of a stolen Jeep Cherokee. Nkrumah now faces multiple charges, including dangerous driving, evading arrest, assault with intent to resist arrest, and possession of stolen property exceeding $5,000, in addition to charges directly related to the break-in spree.
Following the arrest, Nkrumah was remanded in custody pending a bail hearing. However, the investigation remains active as law enforcement officers continue to search for the remaining three suspects who have yet to be apprehended.
The break-ins occurred in various areas, including Caledon, Halton, Hamilton, Peel, and York. On November 21, search warrants were executed at four residences associated with the suspects, leading to the recovery of numerous items believed to have been stolen. However, none of the suspects were found or arrested during the operation.
The three outstanding suspects have been identified as Jordan Saccucci, 33, from Mississauga, Marcel Blackburn, 37, from Hagersville, and Dumark Lindsay, 41, also from Mississauga. It is believed that these individuals are aware of their wanted status but have chosen not to surrender themselves to the authorities.
Halton police suspect that the four men were involved in recent house break-ins that occurred between November 22 and 23 in Oakville, Mississauga, and York. The modus operandi of the masked suspects involved approaching residences during daylight hours. If confronted by homeowners, the individuals would allegedly provide excuses related to construction or landscaping services before hastily departing.
According to reports, the suspects were last seen driving a newer model black Chevrolet Tahoe RST. As a precautionary measure, community members are urged to contact 911 if they spot the suspects instead of directly approaching them. Individuals with any information pertaining to this ongoing investigation are encouraged to contact investigators at 905-825-4777 ext. 2216.
