High-Profile Arrest in Toronto
Nicholas Singh, a 24-year-old man from Toronto who was listed as #15 on the BOLO Program's Canada's 25 Most Wanted list, was arrested on Friday, November 21, 2025, in Toronto. The arrest, made by the Toronto Police Service, occurred near Bathurst Street and Dupont Street at approximately 11:20 p.m., following a public tip. Singh was taken into custody without resistance after officers located him in a vehicle.
Firearm Seized and New Charges Laid
During the arrest, officers seized a loaded handgun equipped with an extended magazine and additional ammunition. Authorities noted that the firearm's serial number had been removed. Singh was already wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for violating parole conditions. He had been 'unlawfully at large' since May 31, 2024, while serving a sentence of five years, five months, and 10 days for previous robbery and firearm-related charges.
Following his apprehension, Singh has been charged with several serious firearm offenses, including:
- Possession of a loaded prohibited firearm
- Carrying a gun in a vehicle
- Possessing a firearm without a license
- Possession of a restricted or prohibited firearm without holding a license and registration certificate
- Possession of a prohibited/restricted weapon or prohibited device knowing no authority
- Possession of a firearm with an altered serial number
Singh appeared in a Toronto court on Saturday morning, November 22, 2025.
The Role of the BOLO Program
The arrest of Nicholas Singh was facilitated by the BOLO Program, a Canadian public-awareness campaign that amplifies wanted notices from police services across the country. The program utilizes social media, technology, and digital billboards to encourage public tips, often offering substantial rewards for information leading to the apprehension of dangerous fugitives. Singh was considered 'high-risk' by the Repeat Offender Parole Enforcement (R.O.P.E) Squad due to his criminal history involving violent crimes. The BOLO Program has been instrumental in helping police locate and arrest numerous individuals on Canada's Most Wanted list.

A loaded gun with an extended magazine seized? That's a potential tragedy averted. Well done!

Getting a 'most wanted' fugitive off the streets is always a positive step toward reducing gun violence. However, the recurring pattern of repeat offenders with illegal weapons suggests that our current penalties and rehabilitation efforts might not be deterrent enough.

Another dangerous individual off our streets. Fantastic job by law enforcement!

How was this 'high-risk' individual even out on parole? The system clearly failed.

24 years old and already a long criminal history. What's wrong with our justice system?

Excellent work by Toronto Police and the BOLO Program! Public safety is paramount.

It's commendable that police caught him and seized the firearm, which is a win for safety. However, the fact he was 'unlawfully at large' from parole demands a serious review of our correctional system's oversight.
