Kitchener man among 13 arrested after series of murders, robberies

York Regional Police (YRP) says 13 people have been arrested as part of a sweeping multi-jurisdictional investigation known as Project Wrangler.

Two suspects remain wanted Canada-wide, authorities noted at a press conference on Monday.

Between April 15, 2024, and March 20, 2025, authorities say a series of violent incidents were reported in southern and eastern Ontario and in Québec. The group was allegedly responsible for crimes including murders, attempted murders, attempted kidnappings, armed carjackings, armed robberies and armed home invasions.

Police executed six search warrants at five locations between April and December 2025. Thirteen people were arrested, and more than 150 charges were laid. Four firearms were also seized.

Two suspects remain outstanding. They were identified as Trestin Cassanova-Alman, 24, of no fixed address, who is wanted on multiple charges, including instructing the commission of an offence for a criminal organization, conspiracy to commit indictable offences, possession of property obtained by crime, breach of probation, robbery with violence, participation in a criminal organization, and conspiracy to commit murder.

Ingram Mohamed, 20, of Hamilton, is wanted by the Sûreté du Québec on a charge of first-degree murder. In November 2024, emergency services were called to an apartment in Rimouski and discovered a deceased male, identified as Michael Lévesque-Fitzpatrick.

In recent days, Québec authorities arrested three alleged accomplices of Mohamed, including two men from Brampton.

York Regional Police are appealing to the public for any information that may lead to the arrest of Cassanova-Alman and Mohamed.
