2 Surrey men wanted on human trafficking charges in Ontario

Ontario-wide arrest warrants have been issued for two men from Surrey, BC, both wanted on human trafficking-related charges.

According to a statement from London Police, three individuals in total — two males and one female — are facing charges.

A victim was reportedly trafficked in London and other cities in Ontario over the span of three weeks. London Police received a report from a woman in her 20s in October who said she was being “trafficked by two men she met through a female.”

Nour-Eldin is also wanted by the Surrey RCMP on a Canada-wide warrant. He was one of two suspects wanted for an alleged kidnapping that took place in Surrey over the past summer.

In addition to the previously mentioned charges, Nour-Eldin is also wanted on charges of kidnapping, unlawful confinement, aggravated assault, use of a firearm during the commission of an offence, and robbery and firearm offences.
