Distraction Theft Suspect Sought

The Peterborough Police Service is investigating after a report of a distraction theft recently.

On November 21, 2025, officers were called to an apartment building in the Champlain Crescent and University Heights Boulevard area after a woman reported being approached by a man claiming his dog was missing.  The woman had just returned from a shopping trip and had brief conversation with the man in the parking lot.  About 20 minutes later the woman saw the man through a patio window waving at her, she went outside to help look for the dog again and when returned to her apartment realized her credit cards were missing.  When she went to cancel her cards there were several unknown purchases for over $1300.
