REGINA – A fugitive who was deported from Canada twice, returned and appeared on the government’s most wanted list, has been arrested in Toronto.
Public Safety Minister Vic Toews says Wasford Uriah Steer was arrested Monday in Toronto.
Toews said police picked up Steer on other charges and then found out he was wanted by the Canada Border Service Agency through the list on the government’s website.
The agency says Steer is in Canada illegally after he was convicted of various crimes, including possession of counterfeit money, assault causing bodily harm and assault with a weapon.
Steer was last deported to Jamaica in 2000.
Toews said it’s not known when, where or how Steer returned to Canada, adding Steer could have used a fake passport.
