Police in Ste. Ad\u00e8le, St. J\u00e9r\u00f4me, Val Morin and Montreal searched six locations, including the Parc Extension home and Laurentian chalet of Dimitrios Batzakis, 46, Nov. 19. <\/p>\n

They were searching for evidence related to two big jewelry robberies at the Carrefour Laval Birks store in 2012 and in St. Bruno in 2002, Laval Police Const. Jolyane Ledoux told The Suburban.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cInvestigators seized two handguns,\u201d she said in an interview. \u201cBatzakis appeared in court, Nov. 20, to face charges of robbery and possession of a prohibited weapon.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe investigation is continuing,\u201d Const. Ledoux added. \u201cThere might be more arrests but so far, he is the only person to face charges.\u201d <\/p>\n

Car knocks out Hydro transfomer<\/b><\/p>\n

\n
<\/b>Police have requisitioned blood samples from a 35-year-old motorist, after his car hit a Hydro pole in Vimont, shortly after midnight, Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe man was driving alone along St. Elz\u00e9ar,\u201d said Const. Ledoux. \u201cAt the intersection of Jacques Bureau, he lost control of his vehicle, which struck a Hydro pole. The transformer exploded, and a Hydro crew was summoned to the scene to repair the damaged electrical equipment.\u201d <\/p>\n

Urgences sant\u00e9 brought the motorist to hospital to be treated for head injuries. <\/p>\n

\u201cA constable detected the odor of alcohol on his breath, so a blood sample was taken to determine the level of alcohol in the driver\u2019s blood,\u201d she added, \u201cto determine whether that might be the cause of the accident.\u201d <\/p>\n

Peaceful demonstrations<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\nThe city escaped lawlessness, last Wednesday, when white collar workers walked off their municipal civil service jobs for a one-day labour protest. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere were demonstrations at Laval city hall, Montmorency Metro station as well as at the municipal garage,\u201d Const. Ledoux reported. \u201cThe demonstrators remained under control at all times and nothing bad happened.\u201d
