Neverson is believed to be connected to 13 home invasions on the West Island and in Laval involving 39 victims.

“When he will be brought back to our country, we don’t know,” said Patrice Carrier, a Commander with Montreal police.

“We still have to go through the extradition orders and this is something being dealt with by the justice department of the province and the country here.”
