Toronto police are asking for the public’s assistance in locating a man that they say has removed his ankle monitor while on house arrest in relation to a human trafficking investigation.

According to police, the accused was convicted of several sex trafficking-related offences involving underage victims at the Superior Court of Justice on Oct. 31 of last year.

He is described as five-foot-nine with a thin build and light complexion. Police say that he is known to frequent the GTA as well as the Southwestern Ontario area.
Police advise against approaching him if located, as they say that he is known to be violent and dangerous.
