Wolfe Island – The investigations into two separate home invasions, one in Kingston and the other on Wolfe Island, are now a joint operation involving the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and Kingston Police.
On August 22, 2024, shortly after 4:00 a.m., Leeds County OPP officers responded to a home on Road 96 on Wolfe Island, where the residents reported that an unknown individual had assaulted them. The victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the incident.
On September 23, 2024, shortly before midnight, Kingston Police responded to a home invasion in the Frontenac Street and Brock Street area. Two individuals suffered serious, but not life-threatening injuries.
It is believed the incidents were targeted and may be connected. In each case, the attacker fled before police arrived. Extensive searches, including Canine Units, failed to locate a suspect.
The joint investigative team is asking that anyone with information, who has not yet spoken with police, contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Kingston Police Detective Sergeant Jim VELTMAN at jveltman@kingstonpolice.ca or 613-549-4660 ext:6300.
Investigators also want to hear from anyone with a potentially relevant doorbell or dashcam video.
The OPP and Kingston Police remind everyone to be aware of their home and personal safety. Always ensure that doors and windows are locked and be aware of your surroundings.
If you have information but wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS) or report it online at ontariocrimestoppers.ca.
