It says a missing person is defined as someone whose whereabouts cannot be established, and that they will be considered missing until they care located and their wellbeing or otherwise is established.

"While we appreciate our communities' concerns when a person goes missing, and the genuine offers of help and support, we kindly ask that the public don't conduct their own searches.
"We ask this for a number of reasons; our searches are coordinated by highly-trained, well-equipped search experts who take an intelligence-led, methodical approach which everyone involved understands and follows."

Man charged with attempted murder mistakenly released from court custody
Police in London, Ont. are asking the public to be on the lookout for a man who was accidentally released after he was charged with attempted murder. In hurried announcement Friday evening, police said the man was "erroneously released from custody" almost 24 hours earlier after he had attended a court appearance in relation to the attempted murder charge. They say he poses a serious threat to the public. "He should be considered armed and dangerous. We just want to make sure the public is aware and that they call 911 and do not approach this this male if they see him," said Acting Insp. Maria Wright. "Community safety is a top priority for us. This is why we're [making this announcement]." Police identified the person who was released as Cody Anthony Leblanc Ashe, 28, of London. He is accused of attempted murder and possession of a firearm contrary to a probation order among other charges. Leblanc Ashe is accused of carrying out a shooting at a community housing complex in London's east-end that sent one man to hospital with serious injuries nearly a year ago on Sept. 11, 2024. He was arrested in late October 2024 at a home near the site of the shooting. Wright described him as a Black male, weighing approximately 229 pounds, standing 6 feet, 4 inches, with a medium build, black hair, scruffy facial hair and brown eyes. A mugshot provided to CBC News includes a tattoo above his right eye. Wright said Leblanc Ashe was not released by police, but was instead released while in custody of the Ministry of the Solicitor General. Police can't confirm whether he was released from the London courthouse or from the Elgin Middlesex Detention Centre, where he was being held. They said they are waiting for confirmation from the Solicitor General. CBC News has reached out to the province for comment on the circumstances of the release, and will update this story when a response is received. "He hasn't been in the custody of the London Police for some time. We're working with our community partners to come to an understanding on how this happened," she said. "But for right now, we're just really looking to apprehend this gentleman, and to bring him in for public safety reasons." Wright reiterated the public should avoid approaching the accused at all costs, and should instead call 911, the LPS non-emergent line at (519) 661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). "He was last seen shortly after 8 p.m., on Thursday, in the area of Exeter Road and Sholto Drive," police said.

‘My Car Got Airtagged:' Woman Goes to Police After Being Warned Her Car Is Being Tracked. What Should You Do if This Happens?
A woman on TikTok claims her car was AirTagged—and says that neither the police nor staff at the location where it happened were very helpful. Savannah Phillips (@thatsavchick) said she was at a golf course when she discovered the AirTag, though she hasn't shared exactly how she was alerted to it. As of this writing, her initial video about the incident has gathered over 2.6 million views. She has not yet posted a follow-up confirming whether the device was ever located. Police Couldn't Find the AirTag. The Golf Course Didn't Help Either In her video, Phillips included footage of two officers helping her search around her car and trunk for the device, but to no avail. The next day, she said in an update video that she took the car to a body shop—but was told there were too many 'nooks and crannies' and 'exposed metal' areas for a thorough scan. She also criticized the golf course where it all happened, saying the staff showed little interest and weren't even familiar with what an AirTag was. 'They could not have been less helpful or less interested,' Phillips said. For now, she's keeping her car away from her home, citing safety concerns. 'As for now, my car is not at my house,' she said in her most recent update on July 7. She promised to keep followers posted, but hasn't shared any new details since. What Do I Do if This Happens to Me? If you find an AirTag on or inside your car and you didn't place it there, don't ignore it . Apple and safety experts recommend disabling the device immediately and contacting law enforcement, especially if you feel unsafe or suspect someone is tracking you without your consent. The AirTag might beep if it's been separated from its owner for a while, but you can also use your iPhone or any NFC-enabled phone to scan it. Hold your phone near the white side of the tag, and a notification should pop up with instructions on how to disable it. Search your vehicle carefully—under seats, in compartments, around the trunk, and anywhere else the device might be hidden. If you find the AirTag, press down on the back and twist it counter-clockwise to remove the battery and stop it from transmitting. If your phone detected the tag, follow any on-screen instructions to disable it. Law enforcement may ask for the AirTag, its serial number, or any owner information you were shown, so take screenshots before handing it over. Do not return the device to whoever placed it there, and do not try to confront them, as that could put you at risk. If you use an iPhone, make sure Item Safety Alerts are turned on. This feature will notify you if an unknown AirTag is moving with you over time. And if you're ever in doubt, it's best to be cautious and involve the authorities. How Do I Know If I'm Being Tracked? If you're an iPhone user, your phone will automatically alert you if it detects an unknown AirTag moving with you—either because it's been separated from its owner or because someone might be using it to track you. If that happens, open the Find My app and follow the steps to locate the device. Some newer iPhones even offer precision finding, which can help you pinpoint exactly where the tag is hidden. If you have an Android phone, it's a bit less automatic. One option is to download the 'Tracker Detect' app from the Google Play Store and use it to scan for nearby AirTags. Viewers Offer Advice Phillips isn't the only one who says her car has been tagged with an AirTag. In the comments section of her video, others shared their own unsettling experiences. 'This happened to me, and the cops in my town told me [that] unless I find it or a crime is committed, they can't do anything,' one user wrote. 'Glad your town is better.' 'Take it to the mechanic! I had this happen to me, and they didn't even charge me,' another said. 'Deputy here. A girl came in with this exact concern about two years ago,' a third commenter added. 'We found out it was in her spare tire. We put it on my squad car.' Some also offered advice for what to do if you find yourself in a similar situation. 'Turn your location on your iPhone in your car,' one said. 'When the notification comes up, your phone will allow you to have the AirTag make a noise and also give you the last four digits of the phone number for the account.' Others suggested checking places like the gas cap or exhaust pipe. 'This happened to me, and they duct taped it to my exhaust pipe,' one commenter shared. Then there were those simply shocked. 'That's so scary,' one user wrote. 'The act of placing an AirTag on someone's property should be charged with aggravated stalking with intent to harm,' another said. 'There is no excuse someone needs to keep tabs on you like this.' Motor1 has reached out to Phillips via a direct message on TikTok. We'll update this article if we hear back.
