Episode Details

Ottawa’s streets are turning into danger zones for online sellers — two violent Facebook Marketplace meetups this week left locals shaken. In one, a suspect pulled a gun and snatched an item from a victim near Berrigan Drive around 7:30 PM. Just days later, another buyer armed with a firearm tried to rob a seller outside a bank — two shots fired, no injuries, but the suspect was caught by security, a bystander, and an off-duty cop. Police want witnesses — especially dashcam holders — to come forward. They’re also pushing for safer trades, with designated Safe Trade Zones and online safety tips to keep you protected when meeting strangers.
