Three months later, on May 22, the Human Trafficking Team identified Xavier Greaves, 27, of Ajax, as a suspect. Investigators attempted to arrest Greaves, but police said in a news release Friday that he fled from them and is currently evading arrest.

Greaves is wanted on numerous charges, including human trafficking, two counts of financial or material benefit from human trafficking, aggravated assault, violation of probation and three counts of possession for the purpose of cocaine trafficking. The accusations have not been tested in court.

Officers describe Greaves as a five-foot-nine man of medium build, known to frequent the Greater Toronto Area and southwestern Ontario. They add that he is known to be violent and dangerous, and that 9-1-1 should be called if he is found.
