Presently, in different sectors of the island of Montreal and also Quebec city, at least one suspect is using private house sale advertisements as a method of targeting senior citizens who are trying to sell their homes. The suspect(s) then heads over to the home of the vendors and shows an interest in buying the residence. The suspect(s) then gains the trust of the vendors and then offers them chocolate.
