Investigators with the York Regional Police District Criminal Investigations Bureau have issued Canada-wide warrants for two men in connection with the attack on Elnaz Hajtamiri that occurred in December 2021 in the City of Richmond Hill.
On December 20, 2021, officers responded to an address on King William Crescent, which is in the area of Yonge Street and Bantry Avenue, for a call that a female victim was attacked and struck with a frying pan in an underground parking garage. The victim, Elnaz Hajtamiri, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and the suspects fled the scene in a vehicle. In 2022, three suspects were identified and charged in the violent attack. In February 2023, a fourth suspect was arrested and March 1, 2023, a fifth suspect was charged.
Through the ongoing investigation and thanks to the support from the media and the public, police have been able to identify two more suspects and Canada-wide arrest warrants were issued for Jaspreet Singh, 24, of Delta, British Columbia and Sukhpreet Singh, 23, of Mississauga. They are encouraged to seek legal counsel and turn themselves in. Investigators are reminding the public that anyone who is, or has, assisted the suspects may be subject to criminal charges.
A $100,000 reward exists for information on the abduction of Elnaz Hajtamiri. On January 12, 2022, Hajtamiri, 37, was abducted at approximately 8:30 p.m. from a Wasaga Beach residence by three suspects dressed in fake police gear. They fled in a white Lexus RX SUV. York Regional Police continues to work with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) in this investigation.
