A male and female are suspects in the theft of a Pioneer car stereo and a Sony DVD player from the FutureShop in Charlottetown.
Charlottetown police said Saturday that the items were valued at approximately $600.
A copy of the video surveillance was obtained by police.
City police and staff have identified a male and female as prime suspects. The investigation is ongoing.
Police also say that a taxi driver reported Saturday that an unknown person or persons threw eggs at his vehicle while he was driving on Belvedere Avenue.
Although this type of prank may seem fun at the time, police are reminding the public of the serious nature of engaging in such activities that can cause a collision resulting in property damage and even serious injury or death in some cases.

Call me old fashioned if you will but I have been to PEI a few times over the past 3 years and I was telling HRH Lizzy (aka the Queen of England) over tea and digestive biscuits just what the world is coming to! The biggest crime story which I recall was someone had stolen a motor which was being repaired ... one which was for a lawn mower ! I just love you lot in PEI from St James Gate with Queen Slappa Chelsea to Rustico Salad Bar !

the system is entirely too soft ,untill they tighten it up and stop this idiotic soft shoe approach to any crime you are not going to stop or curb it,too many people on drugs ,stealing for habits,or too lazy to work,can,t get work,business doesn,t want to pay decent wages,and now looking at two tier .give the right back to parents to punish their children,time out does nothing,they go play on computer
take their rights away for awhile ,and enforce it give the parents some teeth to work with,more so give the police more
teeth to enforce the laws bring in harsher laws. -

Oh my.....the province is going to hell fast. Sounds like the mounties must have been busy this weekend....petty theft at Future Shop and Egg Throwing in Charlottetown....Time to impose a curfew!!!
PEI is just basically a province wide senior home. I certainly don't condone these acts but man I'm sure there are bigger things that can be reported in the newspaper..... -

This LAW IS What PEI NEEDS!
Police in Cape Breton, with the help of a provincial investigator from Halifax, will move to close down 26 suspected drug houses over the next few weeks, using the provincial Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods Act.
The act gives police the right to evict people from their homes if it can be shown they regularly use their homes for illegal activity to the detriment of the neighbourhood. Police do not have to prove their cases in court.
So far, four people have been evicted from homes in Cape Breton under the provincial legislation.
Fred Sanford, head of the safer communities and neighbourhoods investigative unit, said it takes more than just a few complaints to get people evicted. By that, I mean drug activity, sale of alcohol, prostitution or gambling-related offences. And

My God! I saw a male and a female just walk by my window. Should I call the police and tell them about the criminal element in my neighborhood?

Call the Mounties - So theft and vandalism shouldn't be printed in the newspaper. If things like that aren't printed then people complain they are kept in the dark about happenings on the Island. What would you like printed in the newspaper, new recipes or thirty pages of lottery numbers drawn from around the world?
If you are bored with the Guardian or find it's articles trivial, then read something else. -

You guys are idiots. So what if it is petty crimes. It is news! Personally I think its great that the news paper only has petty crimes to report. Makes me feel good about our Island. People on here complain about anything and everthing.

Everyone pays for shoplifting - Businessmen suffer lower profits and Consumers ultimately pay higher prices. More importantly, Shoplifting IS Stealing AND Stealing IS a Criminal Act.
Theft of a $2.00 item from a store operating on a 10% profit margin requires the sale of $20.00 in merchandise to make up for the loss. Supermarkets and others operating on low margins of 1% must sell $300.00 in merchandise, just to cover the cost of a $3.00 item!
ALSO - Everyone pays Higher Vehicle, Property and Medical Insurance Costs when Vandals cause damage to Vehicles/Property and Cause Accidents that require Victims to see Medical Care.
Anyone that considers The Gaurdian is reporting on 'petty crimes' in this article is misinformed. -

What is the CH'TOWN POLICE INTRNET SITE'S URL? CH'TOWN cop McGuigan was just on NS News reporting that since they began posting pictures of Thieves caught on Store Video on the CPS Internet Site they've actually had people turn themselves in!
Nova Scotia passed a Law that people living in nighborhoods are suspected of being involved in Criminal activities-like Selling Drugs, Prostetution etc. those people will be investigated and can be and have been evicted from that nighborhood.
PEI SHOULD PASS THAT LAW-IT WOULD HELP CUT DOWN ON ILLEGAL DRUGS SALES. -

Neighborhood Watcher thanks.
I checked out www.charlottetownpolice.com and all I can say you'd have to be stupid to shoplift in Charlottetown.
Now if PEI would pass that same Law Nova Scotia has RE: Drug Dealers and other Undesirables that are into Crime being removed from neighborhoods it would put a significent dent in Crime on PEI. THERE'S NO REASON NOT TO Want To PASS THAT LAW ON PEI- Unless your involved in the PEI illegal drug industry. -

The Charlottetown Police website url is:
http://charlottetownpolice.com
The security cam images of suspects are posted under Crime Files (Assist to Identify).
http://charlottetownpolice.com/assist-identify
The Guardian should put these up on their website and print them in the paper. -

Maybe we should go our and rape and murder so there would be real crime to be reported so certain people wouldn't be forced to read about this.
Some people just aren't happy unless they can read about other people being miserable. I pity them.
