It was an investigation that spanned 14 countries around the world, Vancouver Police said Friday. Cody Casey, 35, is wanted by Vancouver Police on drug and gun charges Photo by BOLO program He was arrested in the Middle East on Oct. 5 by Royal Oman Police, and returned to Canada last week following a six-month extradition process. 'This was a complex, multi-jurisdictional investigation that required extraordinary collaboration and perseverance,' said Insp. Phil Heard, commanding officer of the VPD's organized crime section. 'We are grateful to our partners across Canada and abroad, including the RCMP, the Bolo program, and the Royal Oman Police, for their unwavering support in bringing Cody Casey back to face justice.' The VPD charged Casey in 2020 with 17 crimes, including the production and trafficking of fentanyl, as well as numerous firearms-related charges. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. He was released on bail but disappeared on April 10, 2022, a few weeks before his scheduled trial. Casey was named Canada's third most wanted person by the Bolo program, an independent group that works in co-operation with police to use social media and technology to encourage people to be on the lookout for Canada's most wanted. The program announced a $100,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. Max Langlois, executive director of the Bolo Program, says Casey's arrest was the result of careful collaboration between several agencies. He said in a statement Friday that Casey would never have been located and arrested in Oman without 'the resolve and intrepid work' of VPD Sgt. Danielle Brock. Casey was formally returned to Vancouver by VPD officers on April 24. He appeared in B.C. provincial court and remains in custody. ticrawford@ Read More Toronto & GTA Toronto Maple Leafs Canada Editorial Cartoons Ontario
