"MEN ARE CAPTURED AFTER CAR CHASE," Toronto Globe. October 31, 1933. Page 13. ---- Woman Pursues Pair After Cash-Box Is Looted ---- THEFT CHARGES LAID ---- Pursued in a motor car to Adelaide and Simcoe Streets last night by a woman whose store money was stolen from a cash box, Harold Jones, 138 Fulton Avenue, and Alexander McIlwaine, 49 Broadview Avenue, were arrested by Constable Brooks (762) charged with theft.

Amelia Brooks, 224 Adelaide Street West, was in a plumbing supply store owned by her husband when two men entered. One asked to be shown a boiler, and was taken to the store-room. Jones, she claims, was the man she had shown the boiler, and McIlwaine is alleged by her to have remained in the store and looted the cash-box of $11.

Jones was to return today to buy the boiler. When the men left the store she looked at the cash box and missed he contents. Calling to a workman, John McBride, they got in a motor car and set out in pursuit of the men. On Adelaide Street they met Constable Brooks, who joined in the chase. As the car drove alongside the men, Brooks and McBride jumped from the car and grasped them.

Taken to Court Street Station, the men were searched by Detectives Mumberson and Nimmo. Mcllwaine, police declared, had $11 hidden in his sock. Additional charges of sneak-thieving, by entering downtown offices and stealing money, will be laid, police said, against the pair.

“From Pawnshop to the Penitentiary,” Toronto Star. June 20, 1911. Page 12. ---- Chase Was Brief, and Detective Was Faster Than the Housebreaker ---- When Detectives Taylor and Miller stepped into a York street pawnshop, Sidney Wright, alias Cecil James Cameron, ran. The chase ended at Pearl and there a half dozen silver forks, cigar trays, and a butter dish were found upon the man. Also a card case bearing the name, W. R. Smythe.

‘A visit to Mr. Smythe’s house at 492 Huron street showed that the plate glass window of the front door had been broken in,’ stated Miller.

‘Mr. Smythe is living at the Beach. He identified the articles.’

Wright left behind a bicycle, which it is claimed was stolen from Front and Simcoe streets a week ago, the complainant being Fred Baxter.

‘I didn’t break in, I found it - ‘ Wright started his defence.

‘Surely a man who’s been in Kingston Penitentiary would know enough out to try to pawn found articles,’ Mr. Corleey was skeptical.

‘He told us they were his wedding presents,’ put in Detective Taylor.

‘He’s very careless, ‘ the Crown Attorney became angry. ‘He might just as well have broken a two dollar window as a five.’

Convicted on both charges, Wright goes to the penitentiary for three years.
