On Friday September 18, 2015 just shortly after 4pm Detectives within the Hamilton Police Service BEAR Unit released surveillance video obtained during their investigations, into a series of recent arson’s within the Dundas community.
The video and photos were shared with local news teams and posted on a number of the Hamilton Police Service’s social networking profiles (Facebook, YouTube and Twitter).
The response from the community in regards to the video was immediate. The online community started rapidly sharing the information with the goal of identifying the man and seeking out anyone with information that could assist Detectives. As a result, information began flowing into the police and the man was quickly identified with additional information obtained to assist the police with the arson investigation.
Just shortly after 2:30am, a 25 year old man shown on the video was arrested when he was observed by police in the area of 10 Cootes Drive in Dundas. He was arrested and taken into police custody without incident.
Police have opposed bail however; the name of the man cannot be released until he is before the courts later today. (Saturday September 19, 2015)
Investigations are still ongoing and additional charges may follow.

The Hamilton Police Service wants to thank the public and the work of our news and media teams for their assistance. The response from the online community and news teams has demonstrated the strength of community policing and how using technology can help to stop, prevent and solve crime.
