–among dangerous foreign criminals hiding in Toronto
CANADIAN police and border agents are currently searching for Guyanese sex offender Vibert Henry, called “Tiger’, who is amongst 1,400 dangerous foreign criminals hiding in Toronto to avoid arrest and deportation.
According to the Toronto Sun, The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) reported that Henry has been on the run for five years in his bid to avoid facing sex charges.
CBSA said Henry was convicted in 2006 on two counts of assault, sexual assault and uttering death threats in a vicious attack, and was to appear for sentencing when he bolted.
Agents believe Vibert ‘Tiger’ Henry is hiding in the Toronto area, and they’re hot on his trail.
Toronto Sun said the authorities described Henry as having scars on his left arm, left cheek, and left eyebrow, and tattoos on his arms. He sports a golden front tooth.
It stated that CBSA officers are working long hours to locate and arrest these most notorious of 60 fugitives, whose mug shots and biographies were released on an agency website last July.
The CBSA is also adding 95 officers to target 9,200 failed refugee claimants, who go underground and have to be removed from Canada every year.
Canada’s Public Safety Ministry officials reportedly said they’re receiving inquiries about the campaign from international law enforcement partners, and the programme can spread to other countries.
According to a report from the CBSA, 37-year-old Shameer Allie was arrested and deported to Guyana from last year’s most wanted list.
He was nabbed in Etobicoke for not leaving Canada after being convicted of violence against women and weapons-related crimes here and in Guyana.
Hundreds of tips from the public have led to the arrests of 14 of the most wanted, with seven of them being deported so far. Additional fugitives are being added to the lineup next month, officials said.
Some 1,400 hardened criminals and 20,000 others sought on immigration warrants in the GTA are already being hunted for removal by the CBSA, RCMP and other agencies.
CBSA officers execute 3,000 warrants a year for those who have violated immigration laws or refused to leave the country. Of the 15,000 people deported last year from Canada, about 2,000 were kicked out for criminality.
Anyone seeking information on the fugitives is asked to visit the CBSA website, or call a Border Watch Line at 1-888-502-9060.
