US Man Arrested
US: CBP arrests Indian national Gurdev Singh, who is facing active child sex crime charges
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the Port of Champlain border crossing arrested an Indian citizen who was encountered with an active felony arrest warrant from Indiana.
The Indian national was identified as Gurdev Singh.
"On May 28, CBP officers encountered Gurdev Singh, a 42-year-old-male citizen of India, after being refused entry into Canada," CBP said in a statement.
Primary Inspection
During his primary inspection, the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) indicated that Singh was wanted in Indiana for Child Solicitation, Solicitation for Sexual Intercourse, a level 4 felony.
Singh was taken into custody by CBP officers and escorted to the secondary examination area for further investigation.
SBP Officials Verified Identity
CBP officers verified the identity of Singh and confirmed the Plainfield Police Department arrest warrant.
Additionally, upon inspection of the man’s possessions, CBP officers discovered several bladed weapons consisting of a sword and a hatchet.
Singh Was An Illegal Alien
Further investigation revealed that Singh was also an illegal alien, who had overstayed his visitor’s visa dating back to 2016.
“I am so proud of our enforcement-focused CBP officers who identified and arrested a known child predator,” said Champlain Port Director Steve Bronson.
“Effectively leveraging our national law enforcement resources in combination with our officer’s unique skillset and experience led to the apprehension of this wanted fugitive. Illegal aliens will be held accountable, especially those who prey upon our children," Steve Bronson said.
Singh was processed by CBP officers and turned over to the New York State Police, as a Fugitive from Justice.
He is currently being held by the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office and awaiting extradition.
Criminal charges are merely allegations. Defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
