trainees briefing : remember to bring your best bikinis and show some skin, because there will be a photo op, don't forget your sunglasses!

i like the log training though, shows these girls can be tougher than some boys out there

I don't think those women are the real trainees. They more than likely are models hired for a plubicity shoot.

Look at the smiling faces carrying that log. C'mon now.

A man is accused of stealing a credit card from a hit-run victim as she lay dead on the street, Hamilton Police say.

Jiao Shi Qi, 20, was struck Sept. 18, 2011, around 2:30 a.m. by a vehicle while crossing Main St. E. near Catherine St. S. in Hamilton. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The impact sent her personal items flying several metres down the street, police said Monday, noting they were not found during the investigation of the collision.

Police continued to pursue the items, which included the victim’s purse and wallet, and credit cards belonging to both her and her boyfriend.

Their search led them to arrest a Hamilton man Jan. 3 at his home.

Jason Dave Trotter, 29, is charged with fraudulent use of a credit card, theft under $5,000 and possession under $5,000. He was released on a promise to appear.
