多伦多警方周三宣布，加拿大武装部队的一名成员以及另外四人因绑架案被逮捕并被起诉，此案此前已导致另外两名加拿大军队预备役成员被捕。
A third member of the Canadian Armed Forces, and four other people, were arrested and charged in a kidnapping probe that led to the arrest of two other members of Canada’s military reserves, Toronto police announced Wednesday.
多伦多警务处总督察乔·马修斯在新闻发布会上表示，被告人是在一项调查中被捕的，该调查始于对7月25日一起绑架案的调查。警方称，受害者被持枪劫持在车内，被戴上手铐，并在嫌疑人试图获取加密货币资产时遭到袭击。
Joe Matthews, chief superintendent with Toronto Police Services, said at a news conference the accused were arrested following an investigation that started while looking into a kidnapping on July 25. Police allege the victim was confined in the car at gunpoint, handcuffed and was assaulted as suspects tried to access cryptocurrency assets.
“此次调查凸显了我们在严重犯罪活动中看到的一个不断演变的趋势，”马修斯说。“罪犯继续调整他们的方法，并寻找新的获利机会。”
加拿大国防部表示，两名加拿大武装部队成员因有组织犯罪和绑架案被捕。多伦多居民、24岁的加拿大武装部队预备役成员杰克·米利于9月24日被捕，目前面临七项指控，包括持枪绑架勒索、非法拘禁以及多项枪支指控，马修斯称。
"This investigation highlights an evolving trend that we are seeing seeing in serious criminal activity," Mathews said. "Criminals continue to adapt their methods and identify new opportunities for financial gain." 2 Canadian Armed Forces members arrested in organized crime, kidnapping probe, DND says Jack Miley, a 24-year-old from Toronto and reserve member of the CAF, was arrested on Sept. 24 and is facing seven charges including kidnapping for ransom with a firearm, forcible confinement and a number of firearm charges, said Matthews.
本月早些时候，警方宣布，多伦多第7团预备役成员塔拉兰巴杰·费尔南多和詹姆斯·莫罗于8月11日因同一起调查被捕。警方周三表示，米利属于另一个团。
Earlier this month, police announced Talarambage Fernando and James Moreau both reserve members of the 7 Toronto Regiment, were arrested on Aug. 11 in relation to the same investigation. Miley is a member of a different regiment, police said Wednesday.
警方还表示，四名平民也被逮捕。马修斯说，被告人涉及军队令人担忧。
Four civilians were also arrested, according to police. Matthews said the accused's involvement in the military is alarming.
“这些人接受过高度训练，能够接触到枪支，这不仅让我们的社区，也让我们的警员感到担忧，”马修斯说。
"These are highly trained individuals with access to firearms and that creates a lot of concern for not only our community, but our officers," said Matthews.
警方在调查中缴获了至少四支枪支和2700发弹药，其中大约一半是空包弹，据称这些弹药是从军方被盗的。他们还发现了大量可卡因、甲基苯丙胺以及其他受控物质。
Police recovered at least four firearms during the investigation and 2,700 rounds of ammunition, about half of them blanks, were allegedly stolen from the military. They also found large quantities of cocaine, methamphetamine and other controlled substances.
警方称，在逮捕Fernando（22岁）和Moreau（29岁）之后，他们面临的指控总数达到49项。国防部表示，二人已被撤职，且其进入军事设施和基地的通行权限已被限制。
Fernando, 22, and Moreau, 29, are facing a combined total of 49 charges, police said following their arrest. The pair have since been removed from their duties and their access to military facilities and bases has been restricted, according to the Department of National Defence.
两人均被指控绑架勒索、非法拘禁、在机动车中非法持有枪支、在实施可起诉罪行过程中使用枪支以及干扰财产的恶作剧。
Both have been charged with kidnapping for ransom, forcible confinement, unauthorized possession of a firearm in a motor vehicle, use of a firearm during the commission of an indictable offence, and mischief interfere with property.
马修斯表示，目前尚不清楚这七名被告之间是如何相识的，但他指出，这一细节正在进行中的调查之中。他说，目前没有任何迹象表明被告与任何更大规模的有组织犯罪集团有关联。
Matthews said it’s not clear how the seven accused all knew each other, but said that detail is part of the ongoing investigation. He said there’s nothing to indicate the accused are tied to any larger organized crime circles.
