High-Risk Fugitive Arrested

News Release

TORONTO, ON (August 15th, 2007) – A high-risk fugitive was arrested on a Canada Wide Immigration Warrant on August 14th by members of the Immigration Task Force (ITF) following a foot chase through a West Toronto neighbourhood. Police officers attempted to arrest the fugitive when he exited an apartment complex. The suspect fled on foot and was arrested after a short struggle during which two police officers suffered minor scrapes and bruises.
Arrested was Lamoy CUNNINGHAM, 21 years of age, a citizen of Jamaica. CUNNINGHAM is also sought by the Toronto Police Service for a number of outstanding criminal matters.
“This has been a difficult four month long investigation. The suspect was actively evading police. At times we were only an hour behind him but today, due to some hard work and tenacity by our officers, we were able to locate him and remove him from circulation. This is what we are here for, to improve public and community safety.” said RCMP Sgt. Tony Gollob of the Immigration Task Force.
The ITF is composed of members from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Canada Border Service Agency and Provincial ROPE members from the Ontario Provincial Police and Toronto Police Service.
