🚨 MONTREAL POLICE SEEK POTENTIAL VICTIMS OF BEACONSFIELD MASSAGE THERAPIST CHARGED WITH VOYEURISM
Montreal police are asking potential victims to come forward as they continue an investigation involving a West Island massage therapist who has been charged with voyeurism.

Alvin Narciso, 36, of Beaconsfield, was arrested earlier this month and faces charges related to allegedly making visual recordings of women in circumstances where they had a reasonable expectation of privacy.

The alleged offences are connected to Narciso’s work as a massage therapist and include incidents on May 27 and June 22.
According to information presented in court, the investigation remains ongoing. A prosecutor said last week that “there could be as many as between 200 and 300 victims.”

Montreal police say Narciso allegedly provided massage therapy services at several clinics throughout the Greater Montreal area, as well as during in-home appointments with some clients.
Police have released photos of Narciso and are asking anyone who believes they may have been a victim to file a complaint.
Narciso is described as 1.70 metres tall and weighing approximately 100 kg, with short black hair, brown eyes and tattoos on his neck and both arms. Police say he speaks English.
Narciso has been detained since his arrest.

📞 Anyone who believes they may have been affected or who has information about the investigation can contact the SPVM Sexual Assault Section directly at 514-799-7225.
Information can also be provided anonymously and confidentially to Info-Crime Montréal at 514-393-1133 or through infocrimemontreal.ca.

The allegations against Narciso have not been proven in court.

Two Air Canada Employees Arrested in RCMP Drug Trafficking Investigation at Montreal Airport

DORVAL, Quebec — August 26,2026 — Two Air Canada employees have been arrested in connection with an RCMP investigation into alleged drug trafficking through Montréal–Trudeau International Airport.

According to the RCMP, search warrants were executed Wednesday at two residences and a vehicle in the Greater Montreal area, as well as at the employees’ work base in Dorval.

The two employees hold positions related to Air Canada’s ground operations at the airport.

The investigation began in May after the Canada Border Services Agency intercepted 62.5 kilograms of co***ne concealed in backpacks on a flight arriving from Punta Cana. Authorities also seized 56 kilograms of cannabis as part of the investigation.

The RCMP alleges the two individuals participated in a conspiracy involving the movement of luggage through secure areas of Montréal–Trudeau airport, with the aim of facilitating the importation of co***ne and the exportation of cannabis.

Air Canada and ADM Aéroports de Montréal are cooperating with investigators.

Air Canada confirmed that the two employees have been suspended while the investigation continues.

The RCMP said the two arrested individuals were expected to be questioned and released pending further proceedings. Investigators are continuing to analyze evidence gathered during the searches, and police say the investigation could result in additional arrests and charges.

The investigation remains ongoing.

Anyone with information that could assist investigators is being asked to contact police
