Young Asian Disguised as Elderly Man Arrested
An old man wearing a flat cap, brown cardigan, and thin-rimmed glasses boarded a plane in Hong Kong and arrived in Canada as a young Asian man.
The police were alerted when the ‘old man’ did not step out of the plane at the Vancouver airport in Canada, preceding reports of suspicion by the airliner’s staff triggered because of the man’s young-looking hands.
Canadian authorities believe that the man whose identity could not be disclosed under Canadian privacy laws had stepped on the plane in the silicone mask of an old man and had removed the disguise in the restroom in mid-air.
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) released an intelligence report that delivered information regarding the imposter on board the plane from Hong Kong.
When the flight landed, Border Services Officers took the passenger for interrogation.
The Asian man allegedly denied the accusation of concealment of true identity and said he had only one bag with him. However, when the officers came out with two more of his bags, one of which the silicone mask was kept, he gave up resistance.
Jennifer Bourque, regional communications officer for CBSA, later confirmed after checking on records that someone had attempted to fly to Canada under a false identity. The agency said the imposter boarded the flight using a passport that belongs
to another person. The man is currently in CBSA custody for further investigation.
