Third Arrest in a Year for Criminal Psych

A Burlington psychiatrist has been arrested a third time within the past year. As a result of his two previous arrests on child porn and computer theft charges, Allan Beitel was forbidden from using the Internet. The first arrest was in April, 2003 and the second this past January.

Peel region police now say Beitel had been intercepting a neighbour's internet connection to disguise his internet activity. Police say a search of Beitel's Burlington home revealed a lap top computer capable of intercepting wireless internet services.

Beitel faces five new charges, including theft of telecommunications and unauthorized use of a computer. He will appear in a Brampton court for a bail hearing Thursday
