The man convicted of shooting and killing Toronto Police Const. Michael Sweet in 1980 is arrested in Victoria, British Columbia, while he is serving a parole period. City News Toronto reports that Craig Munro was arrested on July 28 by Victoria police, and that the Parole Board of Canada has revoked his day parole. Global News (Canada) similarly reports that the convicted killer was arrested in Victoria while out on parole.
Both sources identify the case as involving Munro’s 1980 conviction for the killing of Const. Michael Sweet. City News Toronto adds that Munro had been granted day parole in 2024 prior to the July arrest. The outlets also report that Victoria police do not provide further details on what led to the arrest. The Parole Board’s revocation means Munro’s supervised release conditions are ended and the case proceeds through the corrections and parole system.
