High-Risk Criminal Apprehended in Granby: A Major Win for Quebec Public Safety

Joint Police Operation Leads to the Arrest of High-Risk Fugitive in Granby

In a decisive move to ensure public safety, the high-risk recidivist surveillance team from Boucherville, in close coordination with the Granby Police Service, successfully apprehended a dangerous individual on October 22. The suspect, identified as Alexandre Demers Anderson, 30, had been illegally free since August 27, 2026.

The arrest marks the end of a pursuit for a man who was the subject of a pan-Canadian warrant. Following his capture in Granby, Anderson was immediately returned to detention, where he may face additional charges related to his evasion of justice.

Why This Arrest Matters for Public Safety

Alexandre Demers Anderson is classified as a controlled offender. Due to previous convictions involving violent offenses, he was legally required to remain within a community correctional centre. His absence from this facility posed a potential risk to the community, making his swift apprehension a priority for law enforcement agencies across the province.

A Model of Inter-Agency Collaboration

The success of this operation underscores the critical importance of cooperation between various law enforcement branches. The arrest was made possible through the combined efforts of:

n
• The Boucherville High-Risk Recidivist Surveillance Team
• The Service de police de la ville de Montréal (SPVM)
• The Granby Police Service
• The Richelieu Saint-Laurent Intermunicipal Police Service

This synergy ensures that high-risk individuals cannot easily evade the justice system by moving between jurisdictions.
