Men arrested at mall wore ankle bracelets
Police believe they prevented a crime yesterday morning when they arrested three men who were in a vehicle with mismatched license plates at the Mall at Marathon.
Superintendent Ken Strachan, officer-in-charge of the Firearms Tracing Unit, said two of the men arrested were wearing electronic monitoring devices.
However, he said they placed foil paper on the ankle bracelets in a bid to prevent officials from pin-pointing their whereabouts.
The men were sitting in a blue Ford SUV, which attracted the suspicion of mobile patrol officers.
“What aroused the officers’ suspicion was the fact that attached to this vehicle were two sets of plates,” Strachan said.
He said officers believe the vehicle was stolen.
Police impounded the heavily tinted vehicle.
A small crowd gathered in the mall’s parking lot as police arrested the men.
Police said two of the men will likely faces charges for tampering with their monitoring devices.
