Toronto police issue arrest warrants for two Pan Am Games athletes

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 29 Oct, 2015 01:36 PM

    Toronto police have issued arrest warrants for two athletes who participated in the Pan Am Games in July.

    There's no word on the nationalities of the suspects, or their alleged offences, but more information is expected to be released by the force's sex crimes unit at a news conference later this morning (10:30 ET).

    While the games were underway from July 10 to the 26th, Toronto police issued an arrest warrant for a Brazilian water polo player (Thye Mattos Venura Bezerra, 27) who was accused of sexually assaulting a city woman in her downtown residence.

    The suspect, however, had left Canada by the time the warrant was issued.
