A Russian ‘rooftopping’ daredevil was arrested in Toronto after filming a stomach-churning video high above city streets earlier this month.
The videos, released by Oleg Cricket and the Swiss watchmaker Bomberg, show Cricket performing handstands and spins at the ledge of a rooftop in downtown Toronto. In a second location, he leaps between beams on the roof of a condo tower at 8 Mercer St.
Toronto police arrested Cricket at 8 Mercer St. on Nov. 12. Staff at Graywood Developments Inc., said they alerted police after one of their security guards spotted and confronted Cricket as he accessed the roof.
“He was charged with Break & Enter, and Mischief Under [$5,000],” Toronto police said in a statement. “Another man, presumably the camera man, was charged with those two offences plus Possession of Break-in Instruments.”
A representative from Graywood Developments said Cricket and other urban explorers have been using bolt cutters and crowbars to access the roof at 8 Mercer St. and other properties around Toronto.
The company said it has revamped its security measures, and it’s also asking residents to not let strangers into the building.
