Adrian Humphreys May 14, 2012 – 12:58 PM ET

TORONTO — Kazakhstan has made an official request for the arrest and extradition of a millionaire businessman — accused of stripping assets from the state-owned nuclear company in his homeland before fleeing to Toronto — but the revelation hurts and helps his fight for freedom in equal measure.

The Federal Court of Canada issued a rebuke against the Canada Border Services Agency for telling an immigration tribunal it did not know if an extradition request had been made for Rustem Tursunbayev when, in fact, it knew there had been.

Justice Anne Mactavish ordered Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board to hold a fresh detention review hearing for Mr. Tursunbayev, a hearing that continues on Monday.

Six people arrested in a series of raids earlier this week have been charged in connection to last year’s violent robbery of an armoured truck, police said on Friday.

Toronto police confirmed that a series of pre-dawn raids executed on Thursday resulted in the arrest of six people who are believed to have stolen $1 million from an armoured truck.

A dozen search warrants were executed on homes in Toronto as well as the Regions of York and Durham, resulting in the combined arrests of 13 people.

Staff Insp. Mike Earl of the Toronto police hold-up squad said six of those people have been charged in connection to the armoured truck robbery.

Another seven people were arrested and face charges associated with the trafficking and possession of narcotics.

During the series of raids, police recovered a Glock 17 that was taken from one of the guards at the time of the truck robbery. Another handgun stolen during the robbery has not been recovered.

Police said 800 grams of cocaine, 200 grams of ketamine and 240 grams of crystal meth was also seized in the raids.

Police continue to search for another suspect connected to the Nov. 18, 2011 armoured truck robbery.

Lee Ming, who also goes by the names Anthony Lee and Jason Smith, as well as the nickname “Legal,” is still wanted by police.

More than $1 million was stolen from a Garda armoured truck outside a bank in Scarborough, in what police described as a professional and organized attack.

A B.C. provincial court judge sentenced a Richmond insurance agent to one year in jail Thursday for stealing cash from dozens of customers’ insurance payments to pay for his trips to a casino.

Ka Chun Chan, 48, preyed on Chinese immigrants with very little command of English. According to an agreed statement of facts he claimed he took the money to maintain a gambling habit.

He instructed clients to make cheques payable to him rather than to the Insurance Corporation of B.C.
‘Are they going to get the message from Mr. Chan that Canada is a corrupt place?
—Judge Ron Fratkin

The scheme began to unravel when ICBC started notifying clients their Autoplan premiums were in arrears or unpaid.

In the meantime — dozens of motorists with high-end vehicles were driving around Lower Mainland roads without insurance.

Erin Criger, CityNews.ca

At least $1 million was stolen when three men robbed an armoured truck in Scarborough last year, Toronto police say.

Officers allege three men robbed two Garda employees as they were making a deposit at a Royal Bank on Grangeway Avenue around 9:40 p.m. on Nov. 18, 2011.

“The guards were ambushed by three males. Two men armed with handguns and one with a shotgun came out of the bushes,” Staff Insp. Mike Earl said at a news conference on Monday morning.

The suspects allegedly stole the employees’ guns, and then fled in a white U-haul van, which was driven by a fourth suspect.

“We are looking for the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect…we have identified the U-haul,” Earl said.

Police released security camera footage of the man who rented the U-haul. Earl said he used a false identity to rent the vehicle, and that he’s done it before.
