Case #: n/a

A reward of up to $50,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest of Kamar Cunningham, wanted in connection with a Firearms Trafficking investigation.

The Bolo Program announced the reward today at a news conference, alongside the Toronto Police Service and Toronto Crime Stoppers.

Kamar Cunningham, 39, of Toronto, is wanted for the following:

1. Bench Warrant
2. Superior Court Bench Warrant
3. Surety Warrant
4. Fail to Comply with Release Order

Cunningham was arrested as part of Project Patton in June 2018 for his involvement in a criminal organization that trafficked firearms over the U.S. border. On November 27, 2020, he was convicted of several firearms trafficking charges. On May 4, 2021, Cunningham was sentenced to 9 years in custody in absentia as he did not appear for his court date.

Cunningham remains outstanding and is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant. Cunningham is also listed as number four on Bolo's top 25 most wanted list.

Cunningham is described as 6'1" tall, approximately 160 lbs, with brown eyes, black hair and a full sleeve tattoo on his right arm. Images have been released.

Cunningham has strong family and criminal ties to the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Investigators believe he is evading arrest within the GTA and is also suspected to be continuing his criminal activities. He is likely now using an alias and false identification. Cunningham was born in Jamaica and still has ties to that country as well.

This reward of up to $50,000 is available until December 4, 2024.

If anyone sees Cunningham or knows of his whereabouts, they should immediately call 9-1-1. Anyone offering him assistance in evading arrest may be considered an accessory after the fact and face charges.

The Bolo Program was launched in 2018 and rather than taking tips, they amplify wanted individuals through social media and traditional advertising on billboards encouraging people to either call Crime Stoppers anonymously or the relevant police service.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-7100 for the Homicide and missing persons Unit, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), or at www.222tips.com.
