Thorold wants a Giant Tiger store

-

Niagara Regional Police and Brock University campus security are investigat­ing two separate incidents involving indecent acts Wednesday. The incidents occurred at 9:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. when a man standing between parked vehicles exposed himself to passing female students in parking Lot U V and then again in parking Lot S. The suspect is a dark-skinned male, about six-foot tall, wearing jeans and a dark striped T-shirt or polo shirt. A similar incident also occurred in the parking lot of the Pen Centre Sept. 14 at 5:20 p.m. A man exposed himself while he was seated in a white SUV-type vehicle. Police and campus security advise anyone spotting the suspect to immediatel­y call 911, campus security, use the Brock Mobile App or any emergency phone on campus. There are officers and communicat­ion operators on campus 24 hours a day. Anyone with informatio­n regarding any of these incidents should call Niagara Regional Police at 905-688-4111 ext. 4233 and ask for the on-duty detective. The Brock community, faculty staff and students can contact campus security at 905-6885550 ext. 3200 or security@ brocku.ca. Thorold city staff is going to take a look at what it will take to catch a tiger by its tail. A motion brought forward by Coun. Fred Neale asks city staff to look into the possibilit­y of luring a Giant Tiger to Thorold. Neale said most cities have one of the chain stores and he wants to know if it would be an option for Thorold as well. Councillor­s supported his motion, but raised concerns about existing retailers. Coun. Sergio Paone suggested a Giant Tiger could just be the last straw for some merchants on Front Street. Paone clarified he is not against the idea itself, but wants the city to be careful about the placement of a possible store. www.harvesting­freedom.org.
