OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 16, 2012) - Today, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) added six new profiles of individuals to the "Wanted by the CBSA" list.

To ensure the public is engaged and continues to provide assistance, six new profiles of individuals are featured on the "Wanted by the CBSA" Web page, alongside some of the cases profiled at previous announcements. The public's assistance with the Wanted by the CBSA program has been tremendous and the CBSA encourages the public to frequently visit the "Wanted by the CBSA" Web page for updates on new cases, apprehensions and removals.

In addition, the CBSA has removed 17 of these individuals from Canada.
