Ottawa Police have released security footage of a man they believe is responsible for robbing a 101-year-old war veteran.
Police say they're investigating several leads in the search for a suspect wanted in connection with a home invasion Thursday morning involving a 101-year-old decorated war vet.
He fought on the beaches of Normandy to bring peace to this world. At 101 years of age, Colonel Ernest Ct encountered another enemy in his own home Thursday morning in Ottawa. Ct was robbed in a home invasion in his condo on Durham Private in New Edinburgh. It happened when a man buzzed Ct's condo, claiming to be an employee with the city of Ottawa. Ct was tied up and robbed in a violent attack that this war veteran faced with courage. Late Thursday afternoon, Colonel Ernest Ct showed up at Ottawa Police headquarters to give a police statement, mere hours after being tied up and robbed. He didn't want to talk to the media, though.
The Juno Beach vet started his day in a horrifying manner. At 7:30 A.M. , a man buzzed his condo in the secure high-end complex in New Edinburgh, identifying himself as a city of Ottawa employee. Ct let him in.
The suspect then went to victims door, says Staff Sergeant Mike Haarbosch of the Ottawa Police, and asked for cash and when he was refused, he forced his way into the apartment and it was at that point that he bound the victim, who is 101 years of age.
The suspect searched the apartment and made off with several items. Ct managed to free himself and call police.
CTV featured Colonel Ernest Ct recently, for the 70th anniversary of the Normandy landing. It's a battle where Canadian soldiers showed what they were made of; earned respect that should last their life time.
What happened to him in his own home is anything but respectful. So shocking was this attack on a decorated war hero, even the prime minister's wife was compelled to respond.
On Twitter she wrote, Honored to travel to France last June with D-Day vet Ernest Ct. Horrified to read he was robbed. Our thoughts are with him & his family.

Today at Fairyhouse, at least as far as Im concerned, is all about Un de Sceaux in the two-mile beginners chase.
He made his debut over fences at Thurles last month and arrived with an impeccable record, unbeaten in nine previous races.
Un de Sceaux went off at very prohibitive odds then and, for most of the journey, looked certain to deliver one more time.
Heading to the third last we were cruising along in front and must have held the guts of a 20 lengths lead. But then calamity struck and Un De Sceaux went at the obstacle.
Thankfully, he was largely unscathed and so very much lives to fight another day. Truth to tell that mistake at Thurles was the only one he has made since we started him off over fences.
He has schooled really well since and, to be brutally honest, Im expecting this to be relatively straightforward.
Val de Ferbet makes his debut over fences in the three-mile beginners chase and I am nowhere near as confident regarding his prospects.
The ex-French horse performed twice for Willie Mullins last season, running a shocker first time up at Limerick and then doing somewhat better when fourth at the Punchestown festival.
But neither display, however, matched his excellent home work. Hes also working well now and the trip will suit, but has got to do it on the track.
Uradel, in the three-year-old maiden hurdle, is my third ride of the day and he certainly has plenty to prove as well.

NEWTOWN TOWNSHIP >> The board of supervisors approved its final $12.34-million general fund operating budget for the fiscal year beginning Jan. 1.
The package calls for holding the line on taxes even though the loss of revenue from the planned closing of the Lockheed Martin facility will hit the township the hardest in the coming year.
On Dec. 17, the supervisors voted 3-2 along party lines, with Republicans Mike Gallagher, Ryan Gallagher and Kyle Davis voting in favor of the budget and Democrats Phil Calabro and Jennifer Dix casting dissenting votes.
Unlike many other neighboring municipalities, Newtown does not have a traditional real estate property tax.
However, there is a 2.5 mill tax imposed on property owners which is dedicated to the townships fire protection fund and in paying off debt service on borrowed money.
For 2015, that millage rate will remain unchanged.
Were doing everything to keep the millage rate the same, said township manager Kurt Ferguson, who labeled the budget conservative.
Most of the township's revenues are derived from the one-percent Earned Income Tax (EIT), which is expected to account for almost 60 percent of all general fund revenues in 2015.
However the planned Lockheed Martin closing is expected to adversely affect the townships revenue stream.

Demolition derby is a motorsport usually presented at county fairs and festivals. While rules vary from event to event, the typical demolition derby event consists of five or more drivers competing by deliberately ramming their vehicles into one another.[1] The last driver whose vehicle is still operational is awarded the victory.[1]
Demolition derbies originated in the United States and quickly spread to other western nations. In Europe, this type of event is called banger racing, although in a demolition derby, racers do not race against each other, instead aiming specifically to destroy the other cars. The first Demolition derby in Australia took place in January 1963.
Demolition derbies can be very dangerous. Although serious injuries are rare, they do happen.[1] Drivers are typically required to sign a waiver to release the promoter of an event from liability.[1] To make the event safer, all glass is removed from the vehicle, and deliberately ramming the driver's-side door area is forbidden.[2] The driver's door is often required to be painted white with black numbers or blaze orange, or with contrasting colors, for visibility.[3][4] Most demolition derbies are held on dirt tracks,[1] or in open fields, that are usually soaked with water. This causes the competition area to become muddy, which in turn helps to further slow the vehicles. Some drivers use both the front and rear of the vehicle to ram the other competitors. Others tend to use only the rear end of the vehicle, to help protect the engine compartment from damage.[5]
Demolition derbies were first held at various fairs, race tracks, and speedways by independent promoters in the 1950s. There are unconfirmed reports of events occurring as far back as the 1930s utilizing the abundant supply of worn out Ford Model T's, but the practice perhaps goes back even earlier, In the 19th century, heavily promoted, deliberate head-on collisions were staged using obsolete locomotives. The originator of the concept for auto demolition derbies is disputed. One source said that Don Basile is often credited with inventing the demolition derby at Carrell Speedway in 1947.[5] Another source states stock car racer Larry Mendelsohn created the concept for demolition derbies at New York State's Islip Speedway in 1958 after realizing many people favored wrecks to racing.[1]
The sport's popularity grew throughout the 1960s, becoming a standard of county fairs in rural areas,[1] and becoming a quirky subculture nationwide. The popularity of demolition derbies was also spreading overseas. In 1963 a reported crowd of 20,000 packed into the Rowley Park Speedway in Adelaide to see Australia's first demolition derby. Due to the size of the crowd (about twice the venue capacity), the Police were forced to close the speedway's gates and the derby itself had over 75 entries and lasted for over 100 minutes.[6] Demolition derbies in Australia generally take place at speedways (usually on the opening or closing night of the season), with most cars being older model Australian made sedans or wagons.
ABC's Wide World of Sports televised the World Championship Demolition Derby from the mid-1960s until 1992.[1] Also in 1972, the Los Angeles Coliseum hosted a demolition derby with mint-condition late model cars driven by Mario Andretti, A. J. Foyt, and Bobby Unser.[1] The popular ABC sitcom Happy Days included the character Pinky Tuscadero, a female professional demolition derby driver (almost unheard of at the time with the show set in the 1950s) and occasional love-interest to the show's most popular character, Arthur Fonzarelli.[1]
The sport's popularity peaked in the 1970s.[1] By the 1980s, the sport's popularity began to level off,[1] and then possibly decline throughout the 1990s. With the demise of Wide World of Sports, television exposure became virtually non-existent. In addition to safety concerns and the shortage of full-size vehicles, some felt that the sport has shown little change or innovation beyond its original premise of giant lumbering cars sloshing through mud.
In 1997, The Nashville Network (later part of CBS) returned demolition derby to national television in its "TNN's Motor Madness" series of various motor-sport events.[1] The demolition derby was originally designed to serve as an amusement while attendees bought food and beverage from concessions. Motor Madness derbies were primarily for broadcast and needed to fit into a time frame. Live demolition derbies could last as long as possible. Motor Madness changed the rules from last car running to largest number of offensive hits in a time frame. However, as part of MTV Networks' takeover of CBS Cable operations in 2000, demolition derbies, as well as the rest of the CBS motor-sports operations, were removed from programming as part of MTV's move to shut down the CBS Charlotte operation based at Lowe's Motor Speedway and generalize the network into a more broadly viewed channel. Pay per view was demolition derby's only national television outlet in the 2000s (decade). Two $50,000-to-win derbies were held in Widewater, Canada from 2000-2001.
Later in the 2000s (decade), a proliferation of cable television shows about vehicle customizing occasionally showcased junked vehicles in bizarre competitions. Spike TV's "Carpocalypse"[7] was a reality documentary series on variations of demolition derby filmed in Orlando, Florida. The Speed Channel also has aired Team demolition derbies in 2005. Cable TV's exposure has led to renewed interest in the demolition derby.
In 2006, the partners of Mike Weatherford Promotions (Mike Weatherford and Dustin Swayne) brought DerbyMadness.com to life while promoting the NAPA Auto Parts Crash for Cash Series. The First Annual final show paid out $5,000.00 to the winner of the series. Before competing in the final show, derby drivers across several states had to qualify at any one of the participating NAPA Crash for Cash qualifying derbys. There were over 100 cars in the final show. The Series was a huge success and continues to grow every year. The 2007 Series Money was doubled, so competition was expected to increase for the 2008 series.
