One of those men, who police say has been wanted since March, faces several other new drug and gun charges.

In March, Ontario Provincial Police said a countrywide arrest warrant had been issued after the man broke his parole while serving a nearly nine-year sentence on a robbery and several gun convictions.

Toronto police say officers found 79-year-old Jolan Kun dead on Dec. 9 at an apartment near St. Clair Avenue and Rushton Road.

Police have so far revealed no further details about the case.
