And for what...$150

Disgusting.

The only Canadian soil they deserve to ever see again in the jail's floor.

I wasn’t able to edit my post above. The passports were valid, but the father and son used fake names.

“According to the Scottish court files, Evans Jr. and Sr. entered Canada as visitors in early June 2023, using valid U.K. passports with fake names — Michael and Justin Jones.

They didn't have work visas. But police say the Evans family spent the summer criss-crossing the province, operating a cash-only business called Total Paving.”

What is a valid UK passport with a fake name? Did the passports have fake names, or did they come here with valid passport and then create fake names?

Yes, it's just ridiculous. Death was maybe not the intent, but rather to prevent being chased and caught. But hey, criminals, just don't steal! Pay what you owe for services, don't harm anybody, and the world would be fine.

Did the passports have fake names

This. As far as I understand it. The passports were issued under false names. I presume the UK Passport Authority didn't know this, so it would be a valid passport. There would be no indication in the departure airport in the UK (Manchester or London presumably) that there was a problem and no indication for the Canadian Border when the perps landed in Canada.

UK Passport Authority (or whatever it's called) needs to look into how UK passports can be issued under false names - what went wrong there? Close that hole. MOO. Too late for Sharif, RIP.

HUNTER: Who are nomadic scammers accused in Owen Sound restaurateur's slaying?

Three Irish 'travellers' accused of involvement in the violent death of an Owen Sound Curry House owner were in Canada to allegedly steal.

torontosun.com

'For scammers, Canada is a promised land bursting with bucks and negligible penalties.'

''There are the truck-driving drug carriers and LCBO thieves, Latin American break-in gangs, Roma distraction thieves and Irish “traveller” scams of all sorts.''

'According to a bombshell CBC News report and allegations in court documents, the three Irish “travellers” accused in the killing of beloved Owen Sound Curry House owner Sharif Rahman in August 2023 were allegedly in the country on a mission to steal. That allegedly included a meal at Rahman’s resto.'

''Instead, the Evanses allegedly scammed around Ontario using the old paving scheme as their financial funnel. The “traveller” community has employed the gimmick across Europe, Australia, the U.S. and Canada.''

Could be based on the stolen identities of people who have died, or people who sell their own expired passports for big bucks, and the forger applies to renew the passports with different photos.

Wherever there are rules, there are people determined to break them, IMO.

Yes, of course. I have no idea if the UK passport authority can stop anything like this.

Thread is open again.

Members, guests, friends and family members come to read respectful discussion about what happened to Sharif, not about the history of various travellers groups back to the days of the cave man.

Please stay on topic. Thank you.
