Durham Region man wanted for abducting his son in India arrested
Kapil Sunak, 48, was wanted in a parental abduction investigation. Sunak was arrested at Pearson Airport on June 11. (TPS photo) A 48-year-old man from Durham Region who was wanted by police after allegedly abducting his young child in India has been arrested. Police allege that the suspect travelled with his three-year-old son, Valentino, to Delhi in July 2024 and failed to return to Canada with the boy by a court-ordered date of Aug. 8. They say he kept custody of the child in contravention of the court order. A Canada-warrant was issued earlier this year for Kapil Sunak, 48, of Ashburn (a hamlet of Whitby), for abduction by parent/custody order. On Tuesday, Sunak was arrested by the Canada Border Services Agency upon his return to Toronto at Pearson International Airport. Arrangements had been made for him to return to Canada. Sunak has been charged with abduction of a child under 14 years in contravention of a court order. He was scheduled to appear in bail court on June 11. Camila Vilas Boas and son Valentino, 4 North York resident Camila Vilas Boas poses for a photo with her four-year-old son, Valentino. The mother and son are returning to Canada from India on May 29 following a months-long parental abduction situation. (Supplied) Earlier this year, Valentino's mother, Camila Vilas Boas, travelled to northern India's Chandigarh region after learning that her son was in that area with his father. After a long legal battle, Boas told CP24 that on April 22 a judge in Chandigarh's high court ordered Sunak to return his son to her and issued an order of repatriation to Canada for Valentino. Boas and the boy returned to Canada late last month. What complicated matters in this case is that India is not a signatory of an international convention that helps to resolve cross-border custody disputes, nor is parental abduction considered a crime there, meaning that Sunak would not be charged there for allegedly withholding Valentino, who is now four-years-old, from his mother, nor would he face extradition to Canada. This investigation is ongoing and anyone with further information is asked to contact Toronto police at 416-808-1200 or Crime Stoppers anonymously.

Mother charged with murder after faking kidnapping of 3-year-old daughter: police
A woman who police said made up a story about her 3-year-old daughter being abducted from her at gunpoint in Delaware has been charged with murder after the remains of a child were found. Darrian Randle, 31, told officers on Tuesday that an armed man snatched her daughter, Nola Dinkins, from her vehicle and then fled in an SUV with a White woman at around 7:15 p.m., according to New Castle County Police. Randle said her boyfriend, Cedrick Antoine Britten, 44, was with her at the time. Police responded to the scene in the 500 block of Gender Road in Newark, in northern Delaware, and then an overnight investigation for a missing person was launched by the New Castle County Division of Police Criminal Investigations Unit and the FBI. However, the Amber Alert was canceled when police in Maryland discovered human remains in a vacant lot in Cecil County after questioning Britten at Randle's last known address in North East, Maryland. The remains have not yet been identified, and police are awaiting formal identification from the medical examiner. Maryland State Police said the remains appear consistent with those of a child. Maryland State Police spokesperson Elena Russo on Wednesday said Randle and Britten were arrested and charged in connection with the investigation, according to Fox 29. Randle has been charged with first and second-degree murder, child abuse resulting in death and other crimes. She is currently in police custody at the New Castle County Division of Police awaiting extradition, Fox 29 reported. Britten, meanwhile, has been charged as an accessory after the fact, including failure to report a child's death. He is being held by police in Maryland and awaiting transport to the Cecil County District Court for an initial appearance.

Canton police warns of false child abduction claims at local park circulating on TikTok
A video that was circulating on the TikTok social platform alleging that an attempted child abduction took place in the Canton, Michigan, area has been debunked and removed. "The Canton Police Department would like to assure the community that there was no attempted child abduction at any park within the township," a police report on the case said. "We thank the community for its continued vigilance as we know incidents like these can occur." Canton Police Department said its officers became aware of the video Tuesday morning and immediately began investigating. The situation was alleged to have taken place at a local park. Police interviewed both the person who posted the video and the father of the child. Based on those interviews and a review of the circumstances, the allegation was determined to be unfounded. The person who posted the video to social media has since removed it from their account. In the meantime, the police department asks that anyone who notices suspicious activity in the township report it "directly to the police so it can be properly investigated."
