The man wanted in connection with a 2017 shooting and home invasion investigation in Toronto has been arrested.
He was stopped for allegedly speeding, police say.
Toronto police said that, on March 27, 2017, officers were called to a condominium building in the area of The Queensway and Windemere Avenue for reports of a shooting.
Police said they spoke to two men in an apartment in the building who said a man had come up to them with a clipboard and claimed he was there to inspect the ventilation.
The two men said the man then produced a handgun and forced his way inside, according to police.
It is alleged the man duct-taped the two men and kept them in the washroom while he searched the apartment. One man was able to free himself and “a violent struggle ensued,” police said.
