Toronto police are going digital to help solve a case. Following the Boxing Day abduction and sexual assault of a four-year-old girl in North York, cops posted a 1:44-minute video on YouTube asking for tip offs from the public.
The girl was captured from a home in the Bathurst and Wilson area home, then sexually assaulted in a nearby field. Her Connecticut family was visiting relatives on Charleswood Drive. They noticed she was missing in the wee hours, then venturing outside, found her in a neighbour’s yard across the street.
A man was spotted as he fled the scene. He is described as "between 19 and 20 with a medium build, between 5-foot-6 and 5-foot-10 and was at time of the crime wearing a blue jacket sweatshirt, dark sweatpants or jeans and a striped, blue-toned toque."
Although it doesn't go into much detail about the crime, the brief video appealing for information has already had more than 296 hits.
Toronto police are increasingly turning to social media sites to help with their investigations. Past videos include a theft at a Scarborough furniture store and an assault in a downtown condo lobby.
Kudos to T.O. officers for their astute use of technology in the ongoing battle against crime.
