BCLocalNews.com - North Van crime kingpin still on the lam: "North Shore crime lord wanted by both the Canadian Mounties and the American FBI may be hiding in Toronto, according to recent reports.
In December, Persian gangster Omid Tahvili made headlines in Toronto after it was learned that the FBI thinks he may be hiding out in the city.
Canadian authorities have been trying to find the former North Vancouver resident since he bribed a prison guard and escaped from a Port Coquitlam pre-trial centre more than three years ago.
At the time, Tahvili was awaiting sentencing for kidnapping and torturing a Surrey man at gunpoint in an effort to locate $350,000 in lost drug money.
But, on Nov. 15, 2007, the then-37-year-old walked out of jail disguised as a janitor with the help of prison guard Edwin Ticne.
Tahvili was sentenced in absentia to more than six years in prison for those crimes, but has been on the run ever since."
