York officer dies attempting arrest
Const. Rob
PLUNKETT, 43, was dragged by a car, pinned to a tree,
then thrown from the vehicle.
By Steve RENNIE, Canadian Press, Fri., August 3, 2007
Markham -- A pre-dawn police probe into air bag thefts turned
tragic yesterday when a veteran York Region officer died after
being dragged by a car, pinned to a tree and then thrown from
the vehicle while attempting an arrest, police said.
Const. Rob
PLUNKETT, hailed as "true hero" by his police chief,
was the force's first officer to die in the line of duty since
1984 and only the third in the department's history.
A 19-year-old man faces a manslaughter charge in the death of
the 43-year-old Markham married father of three and police said
additional charges are pending.
PLUNKETT's death came as a heavy blow to a force not accustomed
to loss, said Deputy Chief Bruce
HERRIDGE.
"It's an organization where we've not lost many officers, but
even one is one too many," said
HERRIDGE, adding that
PLUNKETT
was well-known within the force.
The▼ tragic confluence of events that sent
PLUNKETT to hospital
with fatal injuries were outlined yesterday by York police Chief
Armand LA BARGE.
During a joint investigation between 5 District criminal investigation
bureau and the York police special services unit into airbag
thefts, police surveillance officers spotted two Hondas -- one
white and one gold -- leaving a Toronto address.
Police said there have been a rash of airbag thefts since last
September and 43 thefts since January of this year. Stolen airbags
can net between $1,500 and $2,000, LA
BARGE said.
Officers believed at the time the gold Honda was stolen, LA
BARGE
said. He confirmed at the afternoon news conference the car was
indeed reported stolen.
The two Hondas were driven to a crescent in Markham, just north
of Toronto, where plainclothes officers saw the drivers park
their cars. The driver of the gold Honda opened his door and
police allege he took out a stolen air bag.
Just after 5 a.m.,
PLUNKETT moved toward the open driver's side
door of the gold Honda intending to make an arrest, said LA
BARGE.
"As Const.
PLUNKETT attempted to arrest the suspect, the suspect
put the vehicle into reverse and accelerated over a curb, across
a lawn and over several shrubs," he said.
PLUNKETT was then pinned between the open door and a tree as
the suspect kept trying to drive away, LA
BARGE said. The officer
was then dragged onto a nearby lawn and thrown from the car.
"The suspect continued to reverse across the lawn at which time
assisting officers rammed the vehicle to stop its progress,"
said LA BARGE.
A local resident, who didn't want to be named, said he heard
two loud bangs outside his window and looked out to see a man
lying on a lawn across the street.
The neighbour said he heard cries of, "He's bleeding, he's bleeding,"
shortly before an ambulance arrived.
PLUNKETT was taken to a hospital in east Toronto, where he died
of his injuries.
Nadeem JIWAH, 19, has been charged with manslaughter and police
say more charges are pending.
A second suspect, 23-year-old Baseer
YOUSAFZAI, was also arrested
and is facing charges of theft, mischief and bail violation.

'True hero' killed in the line of duty
Two men face charges after 22-year veteran is slammed into a
tree while attempting to arrest suspected airbag thief
By Timothy
APPLEBY and Geoff
NIXON with a report by Alan
CAIRNS,
special to The Globe and Mail, Page A1
Markham, Ontario -- An undercover York Regional Police officer,
dragged to his death yesterday by an alleged car thief on a sleepy
residential street, is "a true hero" who paid the ultimate price
for his "selfless sacrifice," Police Chief Armand LA
BARGE said.
A charge of manslaughter has been laid against a 19-year-old
Toronto man, with further charges pending. A second suspect in
custody also faces an array of criminal charges.
Constable Robert
PLUNKETT was a 22-year veteran of York Regional
Police and 43-year-old father of three. He died after an abortive
5 a.m. operation when he approached the driver's side of a car
to arrest a man suspected of trying to steal airbags - a profitable
mini-industry in the auto-theft world.
The▲ suspect threw the Honda into reverse and Constable
PLUNKETT
was trapped by the open driver's-side door. The vehicle drove
over a curb, across a lawn and slammed into a tree, fatally injuring
the officer, Chief LA
BARGE said.
Backup police then rammed the vehicle and arrested the driver
as he attempted to escape. The other suspect, nearby in a second
car, was also quickly apprehended.
Rushed to Scarborough Grace Hospital, Constable
PLUNKETT died
soon afterward - the first York Regional Police officer killed
in the line of duty in more than 20 years.
The slain officer once won a bravery reward for rescuing an elderly
woman from a frozen lake and was renowned for his work on behalf
of the Special Olympics, a forum for disabled athletes.
"Rob and police officers like him are true pillars of the community
that we serve, and their selfless sacrifice and their hard work
ensures that the communities that we call home are safe places
in which to live and to raise a family," Chief LA
BARGE said.
Asked if Constable
PLUNKETT's approach of the suspect was in
line with normal procedure, Chief LA
BARGE replied, "Surveillance
officers, when they undertake these types of details, formulate
a plan as to how they would effect the arrests where arrests
need to be made."
As upwards of 30 officers descended on the crime scene early
yesterday, residents of Ascot Crescent described the chaos.
Startled awake by the ruckus, one resident described seeing Constable
PLUNKETT lying on the street.
"I heard a very loud noise and somebody yelling," said a woman
who asked that her name not be published. "He was lying on the
ground and they were trying to get him to breathe."
She said she took a blanket outside to an emergency worker in
hopes that it would be passed on to Constable
PLUNKETT, but it
was too dark for her to tell if it was eventually placed upon
him.
A few doors away, at a home directly across the street from where
he was killed, another homeowner recounted hearing officers yelling,
"Breathing! Breathing!"
Police had followed two cars - both Hondas - from an address
in Toronto to Ascot Crescent, in the Birchmount Road and Steeles
Avenue area. At least one of the vehicles was stolen and police
believe it had been taken to a quiet location to remove its airbag.
The▲ driver was trying to do just that when Constable
PLUNKETT
moved in for the arrest, Chief LA
BARGE said.
The death is the first killing of a police officer in York Region
since 1984, when two officers died in the line of duty within
weeks, and sent shock waves across the force, formed in 1971 and
now serving more than 900,000 people.
"It's an organization where we've not lost many officers, but
even one is one too many," Deputy Chief Bruce
HERRIDGE said.
The theft of airbags and other auto accessories is a long-established
business, said Detective Staff Sergeant Scott
MILLS, who heads
the Ontario Provincial Police auto-theft unit.
"There is a very large grey market for replacement auto components,
airbags being one, along with Global Position System, stereos,
body components - things that can easily be put into high-end
vehicles," he said.
"Body shops buy them. There's a very low profit margin in auto
body repair, so if the owner can buy, say, airbags for a Cadillac
Escalade for $100 on the grey market, then he doesn't have to
go to General Motors and buy them for $400."
As for the thieves, police say they range from drug-hungry addicts
needing a fix, to slick, well-organized criminal gangs.
"And some shops buy them up like candy," another police source
said.
In this instance, detectives believe the suspects specialized
in the theft of airbags, which also get shipped abroad to developing
countries.
Chief LA BARGE suggested Constable
PLUNKETT had no choice but
to act as he did.
"Surveillance officers work in a team environment, but the situations
that they encounter can happen so quickly that there is absolutely
no alternative but for the surveillance officers to make those
arrests," he said.
"And this is the particular situation that we are dealing with
here."
Chief LA BARGE indicated that 43 airbags had been stolen in Markham
since January of this year - most from Honda and Acura model
vehicles - and that this particular investigation had been under
way for two or three weeks.
Nadeem JIWA, 19, has been charged with manslaughter, which usually
describes an act of unintentional homicide. Baseer
YOUSAFZAI,
23, faces charges of breach of bail and possession of stolen
property.
Both men are from Toronto and likely face additional charges,
police said.

HERRING,
Phillip
Sidney
Phillip Sidney Herring was born in Castor, Alberta on November 9,
1919. Phil passed away peacefully June 8, 2007, at Burnaby Hospital,
age 87, surrounded by his loving family. Survived by his wife
of 64 years, Marion, his children, Alan (Colleen,) Jane
KOBERSTEIN
(Bill), Ross (Betsy), Ian (Diana) and his grandchildren Mark,
Elizabeth, Sonya, Eva, Laura, Sarah and Liam. His early life
was typical of prairie hardships, travelling across open flatlands
by horse to attend the one-room Netherby School during the harsh
and dusty depression. He made extra money by hunting badgers
and gophers. At age 17 he graduated from Hanna High School and
moved to the west coast to attend University of British Columbia.
At the train platform, he asked his father what he should study,
and the reply was simply, 'engineering'. World War 2 interrupted
Phillip's engineering studies. He enlisted in 1939, serving as
Lieutenant, with the 6th Field Company, Royal Canadian Engineers,
in North Africa and Italy. His job as a reconnaissance officer
was to go ahead of the Allied troops to plan their advance. December 1943,
he was one of the first Canadians to enter the town of Ortona,
Italy to assess the route - after which the Allied forces entered.
Defended by elite German paratroopers, the Canadians were subjected
to a fierce battle in which 1,374 of his colleagues died. After
the war he graduated from University of British Columbia in Civil
Engineering, class of 1947. His career in municipal engineering
began in Ocean Falls, British Columbia. In 1952, with his wife,
and their first 2 children, he moved to Kamloops to become their
City Engineer. Five years later, they moved to Burnaby where
he settled down to raise his growing family. He retired in 1984,
after 28 years as Assistant City Engineer for Vancouver. Phil
will be remembered as the consummate, practical-minded engineer.
Phil was an avid rock hound, world traveller, gardener, award-winning
wine maker and a long time member of the Burnaby Lapidary Club
and the South Burnaby Garden Club. He had a particularly deep
passion for his property in Point Roberts, which has been in
the family for 95 years. Family meant everything to him. He will
be missed. The family wishes to thank Burnaby Hospital Palliative
Care Unit, Veterans Affairs and Fraser Health Authority for their
care and support. Donations can be made to the Last Post Fund
British Columbia Branch, Surrey, British Columbia (604) 572-3242.
A celebration of Phillip's life will be held at West Burnaby
United Church 6050 Sussex Avenue, Burnaby, British Columbia,
on Friday, June 15 at 1 p.m.

Niagara Falls and leaves one sister Claire
ELDER of Campbell
River, British Columbia and many nieces and nephews. Syd served
six years in the Royal Canadian Air Force in World War 2, followed
by a number of years in sales in the K-W area. Out of his deep
faith, he felt called to become a candidate for ministry - the
first from First United Church, Waterloo - a decision made at
Five Oaks. His family supported this decision and awaited his
ordination in 1964. Syd's ministry continued as a student at
Christ the King and Bloomingdale United Churches. After ordination
the family moved to Oakville (Munn's United Church and a new
church development, Trinity United). Other churches served included
Burkholder, Hamilton and Trinity, Thorold until his retirement
in 1986. Over the years, Syd was very active in Presbytery and
Conference, even in retirement. He proudly completed his B.A.
at Wilfrid Laurier University in 1991. Syd and Ruth square danced,
traveled and cruised extensively while maintaining their cottages
at Sauble. It was a joy to have North Sauble Community Church
overflowing for their 50th and 60th Anniversaries. It is with
regret the 65th wedding anniversary will not happen on Labour

Passed away peacefully at his North York home, Saturday, June 9,
2007 in his 77th year, born in Brno, Czechoslovakia. Survived
by his loving daughter Liza

MacINNIS and her husband Craig
MacINNIS of Toronto, nephew Michael
HERZ and wife
Helga of Waterloo,
nephew Steve
HERZ and wife
Nicola of Calgary, sisters-in-law
Ingrid HERZ of Toronto and Elizabeth Charlotte
BAHNSON of Copenhagen.
Predeceased by his wife of 50 years, Renata, who died in 2005
with Robin by her side, and by his brother Macek, who died in
1984. Remembered fondly by his beloved madrich Franta
MAIER and
'The Boys,' the tight-knit and fiercely loyal group of Holocaust
survivors who found themselves, during World War 2, incarcerated
as children by the Nazis at Terezin and later at Auschwitz, forging
lifelong bonds that remain unbroken despite geographical distance
and illness.
Moving to Canada as a war orphan, Robert met Renata, another
Czech emigree, in Toronto in 1955. They were married six months
later. He lived a happy, productive life as an industrial accountant,
refusing, in both attitude and deed, to let his wartime experiences
conquer his spirit. As one of the profiled subjects in Thelma
Gruenbaum's poignant 2004 book, Nesarim: Child Survivors of Terezin,
Robert offered his musings on the war's lasting effects: 'Whatever
it was, good, bad or terrible, this was the greatest, biggest
thing that ever happened to us. Of our family, only my brother
and I came back. I always say, I don't need to buy a lottery
ticket. I won the lottery the first time.'
A memorial service will be held for family at a later date.
