Out Of The Shadows In Canada

According to The Star, police in Montreal say they've foiled an extortion and murder plot aimed at a couple who won a $27 million lottery.

They have arrested an 18-year-old Mexican citizen, Edwin Scarlotte Mata Lima, for conspiracy to abduct, conspiracy to commit murder and other charges. Investigators say according to Montreal police, Lima was planning a home invasion and intended to kill the couple. He arrived in Canada only four months ago and was trying to obtain refugee status. It seems he was trying to obtain weapons also.

I guess he was looking for his line of work and almost found it.
