Kingston Police seek public assistance identifying two men involved in parking lot mischief

Kingston Police have released the above photos and are asking for assistance from anyone who might be able to identify the two men pictured.

The photos were obtained from security video footage of the underground parking lot on Stuart Street across from Kingston General Hospital (KGH). Police say there, on Tuesday, Apr. 16, 2019 at approximately 12 p.m., a male operating a four-door sedan stopped at the exit barrier of the parking lot before exiting his vehicle and walking to the pay machine. When the man returned, however, he spoke to the passenger in the vehicle, who then exited the car. The passenger then walked over to the barrier and forced it up, while the driver exited the parking lot. This action caused approximately $300 worth of damage to the motor which operates the barrier.

According to Kingston Police, the driver appears to be an older man in his 60s or 70s, and the passenger appears to be in his 30s or 40s.

“The car is possible a Hyundai, possibly an older model Sonata. The licence plate is partially obscured but appears to end in 811,” Kingston Police said in a press release on Wednesday, Apr. 17, 2019.

“Police would like to speak with the involved parties to help resolve this matter.”
