Fugitives Wanted by Police Services Across Canada for Murder, Attempted Murder, Human Trafficking, and Other Charges
TORONTO, April 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- An unprecedented reward of up to $250,000 was announced Tuesday by the Bolo Program as part of a new initiative targeting the Top 25 Most Wanted Fugitives in Canada.
The reward was announced for information leading to the arrest of Abilaziz Mohamed, who is wanted for the murder of 43-year-old Craig MacDonald in Toronto last October. Mohamed, who is considered by investigators to be armed and dangerous, is believed to be hiding somewhere in the Greater Toronto Area.
"Please, look at this man’s face. Know it. Remember it. Call in that tip," Craig's sister, Drema MacDonald, wrote in a statement. "Having him behind bars will not end our nightmare. Nothing will. But it will allow us to take our next step forward, and hopefully ensure that another family will not be forced to walk this same path."
Several other suspects on the list are connected to rewards of up to $50,000 and $100,000.
Bolo Program Director Max Langlois was joined by Toronto Police Service Chief James Ramer, Toronto Crime Stoppers Chair Sean Sportun, and police partners from across Canada in launching the Top 25 list — a first-of-its-kind initiative that brings together information about Most Wanted suspects from across the country.
"The Bolo Program was launched in 2018 with a simple goal: use innovation to encourage Canadians to be on the lookout for Canada's most wanted, and in doing so, make our communities safer," Bolo Program Director Max Langlois said. "Four years, more than 20 amplification campaigns, and seven arrests later, we continue to innovate by pulling together police partners from across the country and offering an unprecedented reward for the number one fugitive in this new Top 25."
The Top 25 list is a living document that will be updated frequently. Fugitives will be removed and added as arrests occur and additional police partnerships are formed; a variety of jurisdictions and crimes will always be highlighted. Nearly half of the cases on the premier Top 25 list are rooted in Toronto, where the Bolo Program was launched in 2018.
“Bolo provides an opportunity for people to assist the police in tracking down suspects who are wanted for violent crimes,” said Toronto Police Chief James Ramer. “You can help your community, and help bring closure to families, while remaining anonymous and collecting a substantial financial reward.”
Thanks to a partnership with Crime Stoppers, the Top 25 list allows tipsters to anonymously share information and collect their rewards, without ever speaking to an investigator.
"Community safety is a shared responsibility, in which we all play a role," said Toronto Crime Stoppers Chair Sean Sportun. "If you know where any of these suspects are, and wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers and have confidence that your identity will be protected."
