Hamilton police are investigating two other incidents where a child abduction suspect may have had interactions with young girls.
A 19-year-old woman was arrested Wednesday after police were called about a child being taken from her mother’s side while they were waiting at a crosswalk near Jackson Square. Witnesses intervened and the mother was able to regain contact with the four-year-old, police said.
The suspect, whom police have not named, was charged with child abduction.
Police said on Thursday that in addition to that incident, they have learned that a woman believed to be the accused had an interaction with a young female at the corner of King Street and James Street North earlier that day at about 9:50 a.m.
Also, on Monday, June 18, just before 5 p.m., police said they believe this same woman was involved in an interaction with a young female in the area of Wilson Medical on Wilson Street between Mary Street and Ferguson Avenue North.
Detectives are asking those involved and witnesses to contact them “so a proper investigation can occur.”
Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to call Det. Chambers or Det. Mendes at (905) 546-3817.
