In a release, Hamilton officials say his current location is unknown.
“ He knows he is wanted and is believed to be taking steps to evade arrest,” police said.
“He is suspected to be in the Niagara Region. Anyone who may know Tarantini’s location or who spots him is asked not to confront him but to contact the police. Person’s hiding Tarantini may be subject to a criminal investigation.”
