Police and CBSA arrest man at airport after nine-month Canada-wide warrant

On Aug. 21, at about 8:50 a.m., Peel Regional Police and Canada Border Services Agency arrested Navjeet Singh at Toronto International Airport as he was arriving into Canada on an Ethiopian Airlines flight following a nine-month Canada-wide warrant for his arrest.

“This investigation was a combined effort and could not have been accomplished without the hard work of multiple policing organizations,” stated Pembina Valley RCMP Corporal Jamie Sokolosky in a press release. “From the CBSA to Peel Regional Police, and Manitoba Motor Carrier Enforcement – their assistance was vital. This has been an extremely tough time for the family. We thank everyone who put their concerns and comments out there – we all came together to ensure this apprehension was successful.”

On Nov. 14, 2024, at about 7:05 p.m., Pembina Valley RCMP responded to a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Provincial Road 201 and Provincial Road 306, west of Altona.

A semi-trailer travelling eastbound failed to stop at the intersection with Provincial Road 306 and collided with a southbound SUV. The 35-year-old female SUV driver was pronounced dead on scene and her eight-year-old daughter later died at hospital.

On November 20, 2024, RCMP charged Singh, 25, of Brampton, Ontario, with two counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death, as well as obstructing a peace officer and issued a Canada-wide warrant for his arrest.

Singh will be escorted back to Manitoba by RCMP in the coming days and remanded in custody.

The investigation continues.
