Vancouver escort charged with armed robbery

  • Vancouver escort charged with armed robbery

A Vancouver escort who pleaded guilty to stealing more than 90-thousand-dollars from six men has been charged with armed robbery in Ontario.

Jessica Kane, who pleaded guilty last July to theft in B-C, is one of two people charged in a robbery in Vaughan, north of Toronto, earlier this month.

York Regional Police say a victim contacted them to report that he had been held against his will and threatened at knifepoint by two suspects who forced him to withdraw money from several A-T-Ms before eventually releasing him.

Thirty-two-year-old Kane has been charged with armed robbery, forcible confinement and three counts of breach of probation, as the offence occurred while she was wanted in Alberta and on probation for unrelated charges.
