亨特:为何匈牙利男子数百项犯罪指控,依然留在加拿大
布拉德·亨特 2025年2月5日

24岁的多伦多男子拉约什·加兰姆(Lajos Galamb)因涉嫌在2024年12月29日至2025年1月12日期间,闯入基尔街-斯蒂尔斯大道(Keele St.-Steeles Ave.)地区的三家汽车经销店而被起诉。
拉约什·加兰姆的情况如何?尽管你对他评价不一,但如果警方的指控属实,这位多伦多男子的职业道德堪比虔诚的加尔文主义者。
据称,即使自2023年以来一直被软禁,他依然保持着坚韧的作案风格。
针对加兰姆的指控让我想起了我在纽约认识的一位老警察,他曾说过:“犯罪虽然不是职业,但却是一份工作。”
据警方称,这名24岁的男子上周因涉嫌三起北约克汽车经销店入室盗窃案而被控15项罪名。指控称,在2024年12月29日至2024年1月12日期间,加兰姆涉嫌强行闯入基尔街-斯蒂尔斯大道地区的经销店。进入店内后,他拿走了车钥匙、车辆和车牌。
但事情远不止于此。远不止于此。
自2024年1月以来,他还因一年来在多伦多警察局各部门的入室盗窃案而被控193项罪名。
此外,他还面临滑铁卢、圭尔夫、伦敦、约克、皮尔和达勒姆地区195项与入室盗窃相关的指控。
这一切都发生在他被软禁期间。
多伦多警察协会副主席布莱恩·卡拉南提出了一个我们都想知道的问题:“警方需要提出多少项指控才能将这家伙拘留?”
但关键在于:2018年,加兰布和两名匈牙利同胞因涉嫌从科堡地区的房产中盗窃金属而被捕。
这不禁让人想问:他为什么还在这里?
“所有罗姆人都来到这里,你根本赶不走他们,”一位侦探告诉《多伦多太阳报》。“除非是暴力犯罪,否则他们会多次参加移民听证会,声称自己是难民,并声称自己在家乡遭受迫害。一旦他们进来,你就无法让他们出来。”
他还补充说,由于这些指控都是非暴力的,这些被指控的罪犯几乎百分之百肯定会在无可救药的难民委员会面前逍遥法外。
2018年,安省省警(OPP)在一份新闻稿中表示,警方发现了一辆可疑车辆,并接到报告称科堡附近汉密尔顿镇地区的房产发生了金属盗窃案。
新闻稿补充道:“三名从匈牙利入境加拿大的男子被捕。”
加兰姆和另外两名匈牙利人被控盗窃5000加元以下物品(四项罪名)以及持有5000加元以下犯罪所得财产(两项罪名)。
警方还缴获了大量财物,并表示他们相信这三人与达勒姆地区报告的其他盗窃案有关。
然后呢?三人都被释放了。
奇怪的是,没有关于涉嫌犯罪的记录,也没有加兰姆的移民身份信息。即使指控被撤销,系统中也应该有一些记录。
但如果侦探们的怀疑属实,那么拉约什·加兰姆就是一位敬业的工匠。对他来说,他选择的职业似乎是一种使命。
上周四,他被找到、逮捕,并被指控三项故意伪装和未遵守释放令(!)罪名,两项持有入室盗窃工具和入室盗窃非住宅意图实施可公诉罪行罪名,以及一项盗窃5000加元以下物品、盗窃机动车和持有5000加元以下犯罪所得财产罪名。
这位警察告诉《太阳报》:“你不会因为盗窃而被驱逐出加拿大。”
加兰姆于2023年因盗窃罪获得有条件释放和缓刑。此外,他还有2021年和2022年的案件正在审理中。
最近的指控均未在法庭上进行审理。
用警方的话来说,这些犯罪更关乎生活质量。而司法系统却置之不理,导致它们继续存在。
逃票、涂鸦、破坏公物、瘾君子吐在你鞋子上、公园里丢弃针头。记住:你无关紧要。
真正重要的是氛围。难道我们就不能手拉手,在火炉边烤烤棉花糖吗?
当然,我们的司法、假释和移民系统不会对凶杀案过于激动。那么,他们为什么要因为拉约什·加兰布事件而大动肝火呢?
HUNTER: Why is Hungarian man facing hundreds of charges still in Canada?
Even being under house arrest since 2023 allegedly couldn’t slow him down.
The allegations against Galamb bring to mind an old cop I knew in New York City who pointed out that while “crime isn’t a career, it is a job.”
According to cops, the 24-year-old was charged last week with 15 offences in connection with three separate North York car dealership break-ins. Between Dec. 29, 2024 and Jan. 12, Galamb allegedly forced entry into dealerships in the Keele St.-Steeles Ave. area. Once inside, he’d take car keys, vehicles and licence plates, according to the accusations.
But there’s more. Much more.
He was also dinged with 193 charges in connection with a year’s worth of break-and-enters in divisions across the Toronto Police Service since January 2024.
And he is facing an additional 195 breaking and entering-related charges in Waterloo, Guelph, London, York, Peel, and Durham regions.
All while under house arrest.
Toronto Police Association vice president Brian Callanan posed the question we all are wondering: “How many charges do police have to lay before this guy is held in custody?”
But here’s the kicker: In 2018, Galamb and two fellow Hungarians were arrested for allegedly stealing metal from properties in the Cobourg area.
He added that because the accusations were non-violent, the alleged offenders were almost 100% guaranteed to skate in front of the hopelessly naive refugee board.
In 2018, the OPP said in a press release that officers spotted a suspicious vehicle and there were reports of metal thefts from Hamilton Township-area properties near Cobourg.
The release added: “Three men visiting Canada from Hungary were arrested.”
Galamb and two other Hungarians were charged with theft under $5,000 (four counts) and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000 (two counts).
Cops also recovered a large quantity of property and said they believed the trio were linked to other thefts reported in Durham Region.
And then? All three were released.
Bizarrely, there is no record of the alleged crime nor Galamb’s immigration status. Even if the charges were dropped, there should have been something in the system.
But if detectives’ suspicions are correct, then Lajos Galamb is a devoted craftsman. For him, it appears his chosen trade is allegedly a calling.
Last Thursday, he was located, arrested and charged with three counts each of disguise with intent and FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH A RELEASE ORDER (!), two counts each of possession of break-in instruments and break-and-enter a non-dwelling with intent to commit an indictable offence and one count each of theft under $5,000, theft of a motor vehicle and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000.
“You don’t get booted from Canada for theft,” the cop told the Sun.
Galamb got a conditional discharge and probation for theft under in 2023. He also has matters from 2021 and 2022 still before the courts.
None of the most recent charges have been tested in court.
In police parlance, these are more quality-of-life crimes. And because the justice system blows them off, they continue.
The fare jumping, the graffiti, the vandalism, the junkie puking on your shoes, discarded needles in the park. Know this: You don’t matter.
What really matters are vibes. Can’t we all just hold hands and make some smores by the fire?
Of course, our judiciary, parole and immigration systems don’t get overly excited about homicides. So why would they get their knickers in a knot over Lajos Galamb?
