Laval police beat:<\/i><\/b>
\nABM thieves net $1.3 million, another grow-op burgled, female bank robber foiled<\/i><\/b>

Back in October, Laval police, together with their Montreal counterparts and Royal Canadian Mounted Police, began an investigation after a Laval woman, whom they declined to identify, received a document about the sale of her house. The problem was she hadn’t sold it.<\/p>\n

On March 13, they arrested two men, Montrealer Kinh Luan Ho Quan, 57, and St. Hubert resident Claude Boss\u00e9, 46. The pair appeared in court in Laval to face fraud charges, March 15.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout the woman’s knowledge, the suspects contracted three mortgages, ranging in value from $100,000 to $450,000, using fake documents and identification to notarize the sale of her house,\u201d Sgt. Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Jean told The Suburban.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cThe woman still lives in the house and I understand that she has received very good cooperation in the process of legally reclaiming her home,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had heard of a similar case about six-to-seven years ago, but generally this sort of crime is very rare,\u201d Sgt. Jean said.<\/p>\n

\nWelders extract $1.3 million from ABMs<\/b><\/p>\n
\n
Laval residents R\u00e9jean Lavigne, 48, and his son Maxime Lavigne, 24, have been arrested in connection with 133 thefts in Quebec and Ontario.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey would break into automated banking machines using portable acetylene torches,\u201d explained Sgt. Jean, \u201cusually standalone ABMs at gas stations and flea markets, for example.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Guzzo theatre in Laval was one of the victims,\u201d he continued. \u201cThe crimes were committed all over the North Shore, Laval, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Halton, Ontario.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCooperation between police services led to the arrest, in what we have called Operation Soudeur,\u201d Sgt. Jean said. \u201cSome thefts were for as little as $3,000; others netted more than $50,000.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two other individuals were also caught in the interprovincial dragnet: Pierre Poirier, 51, of St. Gabriel de Brandon, and William Nolin, 43, of Niagara.<\/p>\n

All four currently face charges in Ontario. There is no word yet as to what charges the quartet might subsequently face in Quebec.<\/p>\n

Burglers finger grow-up <\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\nA bungled burglary has again led Laval police to uncover a marijuana grow op.<\/p>\n

Around 8 p.m., March 9, a neighbour spotted four men in their 20s in the yard at 560 St. Sa\u00ebns East, in Auteuil.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolice officers intercepted three out of the four suspects, and noticed that they had cannabis in their pockets,\u201d recounted Sgt. Jean. \u201cWhen they entered the property, they noticed that it was almost vacant, with very little furniture inside, and immediately realized that it was used to grow marijuana. They subsequently discovered more than 400 plants between one-to-three feet tall.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that investigators are meeting the owner who rented out the house. \u201cThe fourth break-in suspect ought to be located very soon,\u201d he added. \u201cWe have a very good lead.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

\nDye-pack foils female bank robber<\/b><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cA black woman dressed in a black coat, black pants and sunglasses entered the TD Bank in the Megacentre in Sainte Doroth\u00e9e, just before it closed at 4 p.m., March 13,\u201d Const. Nathalie Lorrain told The Suburban.<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cShe asked for money in unaccented English and, after the teller went to get the money, she pulled out a gun and screamed: ‘It’s a holdup!’\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe teller complied, and gave her a red-dye pack anti-theft device which the woman put inside her bag,\u201d Const. Lorrain explained. Dye-packs look like bundles of money but with indelible red ink and a tiny explosive charge hidden inside. <\/p>\n

\u201cAs she left the bank, the dye-pack exploded in the bag,\u201d she continued. \u201cWhen the suspect saw what had happened, she abandoned the bag and the ink-stained money.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWitnesses saw her get into a waiting black, four-door car, which fled the scene with great haste,\u201d Const. Lorrain said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don’t have a description of the driver,\u201d she added. \u201cThe female suspect had brown hair, but the teller thinks that it could have been a wig, because it didn’t looknatural.\u201d<\/p>\n
