Raheem Hartley (24), of the United Kingdom has been charged.<\/p>\n
A 24-year-old man from the United Kingdom has been arrested after Peel Regional Police allege he fled Canada following an armed carjacking in Mississauga earlier this year.<\/p>\n
According to investigators, the suspect returned to Toronto on an international flight on July 16 and was arrested upon landing at Pearson Airport on an outstanding Canada-wide warrant.<\/p>\n
The charges stem from a carjacking that occurred on Feb. 4, 2025, at about 4:30 p.m. in the area of Torbram Road and Derry Road East.<\/p>\n
Police say the victim was sitting inside a commercial vehicle when two masked suspects approached armed with handguns. The suspects allegedly pointed the firearms at the victim before forcing him from the vehicle and stealing it.<\/p>\n
Following an investigation by Peel Regional Police\u2019s Central Robbery Bureau, officers identified Raheem Hartley, 24, of the United Kingdom, as one of the alleged suspects.<\/p>\n
Investigators say Hartley left Canada shortly after the carjacking. A Canada-wide warrant for his arrest was issued in December 2025 after police determined he had fled the country.<\/p>\n
When Hartley returned to Canada on July 16, officers arrested him at Toronto Pearson International Airport.<\/p>\n
Hartley has been charged with robbery, disguise with intent, and use of an imitation firearm while committing an offence.<\/p>\n
He was held for a bail hearing before the Ontario Court of Justice.<\/p>\n
Police continue to investigate and are asking anyone with information about the incident to contact the Central Robbery Bureau at 905-453-2121, ext. 3410.<\/p>\n
