JANUARY 11 2012

Images have been released by police of a van involved in a robbery last week in the hopes it will help them find three male suspects.

The robbery happened in a parking lot on Pinebush Road in Cambridge last Wednesday around 3 p.m.

Two male victims were robbed of an unknown amount of money by three male suspects who were wearing masks and reportedly carrying weapons.

The suspects were not known to the victims and no injuries were reported.

The suspects fled in a 1996 maroon-coloured Plymouth Voyager minivan with yellow dealer plates, which police believe is from the Greater Toronto Area.

The van has tinted windows and rust on a wheel well as well as other damage. It was found abandoned on Bechtel Street in Cambridge.

Police would like to speak to anyone who has seen the vehicle since Nov. 21, or who knows who had possession of it. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 519-653-7700 Ext. 2231 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

SEPTEMBER 1

The Waterloo Regional Police Service is releasing photos of the pick-up truck involved in the death of 34 year old, Brett Kaufman of Kitchener, in hopes of locating witnesses. Police have charged 27 year old Norman McEachern of Kitchener with second degree murder, impaired driving causing death and dangerous driving causing death.

 
Investigators allege that shortly after 4 p.m. on Saturday August 27, 2011, Kaufman was a passenger in the yellow 1998 Chevrolet 1500 pick-up truck driven by McEachern. When the pick-up truck stopped at the intersection of Homer Watson Boulevard and Hanson Avenue, Kaufman exited the truck and was struck and killed.
 
Minutes prior, the two had been in the pick-up truck at Pioneer Park Plaza where it is believed that vandalism was done to another vehicle parked beside theirs in the lot.  After leaving the plaza, the pick-up truck travelled along Homer Watson Boulevard prior to stopping at Hanson Avenue, where Kaufman got out.
 
Police wish to speak with persons who witnessed the damage occur at the plaza and to anyone who witnessed the pick-up truck driving along Homer Watson Boulevard in Kitchener.
