Officers want video and tips after early-morning incidents in north-end neighbourhood

Niagara Regional Police are asking for the public’s assistance after a series of robberies and assaults in Niagara Falls in the early hours of Monday morning.

Police say investigators were called at about 4 a.m. to the area of Morrison Street and Victoria Avenue where a male victim was allegedly robbed. The suspects are then reported to have travelled in a silver four-door sedan with dark-tinted windows, attended the area of Chrysler Avenue and Queen Street and allegedly attempted to assault a female victim, making a death threat.

According to police, the same four suspects later returned to Morrison Street and Victoria Avenue and committed a second robbery against the same male victim, causing minor injuries. Officers also say an additional assault involving an unidentified victim occurred in the area.

The suspects are described as four males, aged between 18 and 24. Police have not released information about their races or other identifying details.

  • Incident time: about 4 a.m. on Monday
  • Vehicle: silver, four-door sedan with dark-tinted windows
  • Suspect descriptions: four males, approximately 18–24 years old
  • Locations: Morrison St & Victoria Ave; Chrysler Ave & Queen St
“Anyone with any information related to this incident is asked to contact the Niagara Regional Police Service at 905-688-4111, option 3, ext. 1009059.”

Investigators are asking residents and businesses in the affected neighbourhoods to review any available security camera or doorbell footage for images of the vehicle or the four suspects. Police say tips from the community could help identify those involved and assist in their arrest.

What police are asking from the community

Niagara Regional Police provided a direct contact and also encouraged anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers. The numbers and options given by police are:

  • Niagara Regional Police Service: 905-688-4111, option 3, ext. 1009059
  • Anonymous tips: Crime Stoppers online or by phone at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS)

Officers did not release further identifying information about the victims or the suspects. No arrests were reported in the police release. The request to review video comes as investigators pursue leads; local surveillance, dash-cam footage or home security recordings could be crucial to establishing the suspects’ movements.

The incidents took place in a part of Niagara Falls that mixes residential streets with small commercial properties and schools. For residents, the police appeal underscores the role of local surveillance and neighbourhood vigilance in investigations of street-level crime. Police agencies increasingly rely on community-provided footage to trace vehicles and establish timelines.

Anyone with relevant information is asked to contact the investigation team at the number above or provide an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers. Police say even small details — a distinctive vehicle part, clothing, or a partial plate number — can assist detectives working to identify and locate the four suspects.
