London, Ont. business owner speaks out after security cameras capture suspicious behaviour

Joe O’Neil operates his family funeral home in London's downtown core, and his business is a frequent victim of theft and property damage. Yet one incident, where no crime was committed, has left him shaking his head.

A London business owner said some strange behaviour caught on video has made him nervous.

Joe O’Neil operates his family funeral home at King and William streets in London’s downtown core, and his business is a frequent victim theft and property damage.

Over the past few weeks that hasn’t changed. Yet one incident, where no crime was committed, has left him shaking his head.

Early in the morning of July 29, a security camera picked up two men walking up a sidewalk towards the entrance of his funeral home.

A short time later a second camera shows an image of one of the men approaching the front steps.

“One guys stays out of view, and the other guy comes up with his sweatshirt,” O’Neil explained. “And the first guy looks like he’s giving instructions to the second guy.”

The man on camera adjusts the sweatshirt at the foot of the front door, then briefly adjusts a flyer in a door handle before stepping away and rejoining the second man.
