Episode Details

Another Facebook Marketplace deal turned deadly in Ottawa—this time in Barrhaven, where a buyer pulled a gun and stole the item during a meet-up. It’s the second such incident this week: just a day prior, a similar armed robbery attempt at a CIBC bank was thwarted by a security guard, victim, and off-duty cop—all three taking down the suspect. Police are urging anyone with footage from 7:30–8 PM Sunday to come forward. To combat these rising risks, Ottawa police created “Safe Trade Zones” at Elgin, Kanata, and Orleans stations—but safety still rests on your shoulders. Stay alert when meeting strangers for online sales.
