Case 11 - The Public Enemy, Part One: The Port Credit Hold-Up

Heritage Bytes

Welcome, dear listeners, to another tale of murder, scandal and crime from Mississauga’s darker side.

In today’s case, we investigate two separate crimes, in two different places, under seemingly unrelated circumstances.

What does a small town bank robbery in Port Credit and a big city Gangland murder in the heart of Toronto have in common? The lowest common denominator: a lone figure, poised to ascend the ladder to the top of Toronto’s criminal underworld. Let us introduce you, dear listener, to Mickey McDonald, the mad dog of Jarvis Street.

From the case files of Heritage Mississauga, this is Mississauga Confidential.
