A man who removed a GPS ankle monitor and broke house arrest is sought by police.
Nour Marakah, 34, was originally arrested following an armed home invasion and robbery investigation by York Regional Police's hold-up unit.
He was convicted of numerous charges and released by the courts while awaiting sentencing, on the condition that he be under house arrest and wear a GPS ankle bracelet at all times.
