On March 12, 2026, officers with the Offender Management Unit located and arrested the man. He has been identified as Yvenord Hyacinthe, 44, of Oshawa.
He faces multiple charges, including assault, assault with a weapon, forcible confinement, robbery, extortion, and procuring. He was held in custody pending a bail hearing.
Police are continuing their investigation and are asking anyone with information to contact the Human Trafficking Unit or submit anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers.
The charges have not yet been proven in court.
