Hamilton Police are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the suspects from the City’s most recent distraction theft.
On Monday December 8, 2025, officers were called to the area of Queenston Road and Nash Road for a report of jewellery theft. An 89-year-old woman was loading groceries in a nearby parking lot when she was approached by a male and female in a newer-model, black Mazda SUV.
The pair engaged with the victim and questioned her on her ethnicity. They took turns placing jewellery on her and even leaned in for a hug. Once the victim arrived home, she noticed that her own jewellery had been removed.
Police are asking anyone who may have been driving on Queenston Road between Centennial Parkway and the Red Hill Valley Parkway between the hours of 1:10 pm to 1:25 pm to please check their dashcams for the black Mazda SUV.
