"CCTV enquiries show a man entering the station with a baby in a pushchair. A short time later, he urinates on the seats in the waiting shelter before proceeding to rip a bicycle free of its lock.
"While stealing the bike, the child was left unattended in the pushchair, just a few feet away from the track.
"He then finishes a drink he had with him and throws the empty can on the floor before leaving the station with the stolen bike."

What makes them so sure there was a child in the pushchair? Maybe he stole the pushchair.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/quebec-considers-removing-n-word-from-11-place-names-1.3184317
A stretch of the Gatineau River that has officially been called Nigger Rapids for decades could be renamed — along with 10 other sites in Quebec whose names include the racial slur.
But the provincial body that manages Quebec's place names says there has been little public pressure to rename the sites.
The rapids are located in the municipality of Bouchette about 120 kilometres north of Ottawa. They were named in memory of a black couple who drowned there in the early 1900s, said Jean-Pierre LeBlanc, spokesman for the Quebec Toponymy Commission.
After decades of being known by their informal name by the locals, the commission officially recognized the name in 1983.
"It was meant to describe the people who died," LeBlanc said. "There was no pejorative connotation then as there is now."
LeBlanc said that no formal request by residents has been made to change the name of the rapids but that the commission is considering whether it should rename all 11 sites that include the racial slur.
Claire Hamel, who lives near the rapids, said the official name is not a source of controversy among locals.
"Nobody talks about this," she said. "It's the name, that's it. Like Bouchette, like Maniwaki, like Ottawa."
Bouchette Mayor Réjean Major told Radio-Canada he has no intention of asking the commission to change the name of the rapids.

At the time of the robbery, law enforcement said the robber was also suspected of robbing a TCF Bank in Minneapolis and four St. Paul gas stations between Feb. 3 and 10. In those cases, the suspect also spoke with a British accent and wielded a gun, telling one cashier to “keep calm” and “hand over the money.”
After St. Paul police arrested Hess last week, they interviewed him and noticed he did not have a British accent, said Sgt. Mike Ernster, a police spokesman. Police found out Hess is from the Twin Cities and he told them he speaks with a British accent periodically, Ernster said.
