亨特：為何匈牙利男子數百項犯罪指控，依然留在加拿大

24歲的多倫多男子拉約什·加蘭姆（Lajos Galamb）因涉嫌在2024年12月29日至2025年1月12日期間，闖入基爾街-斯蒂爾斯大道（Keele St.-Steeles Ave.）地區的三家汽車經銷店而被起訴。
拉約什·加蘭姆的情況如何？盡管你對他評價不一，但如果警方的指控屬實，這位多倫多男子的職業道德堪比虔誠的加爾文主義者。
據稱，即使自2023年以來一直被軟禁，他依然保持著堅韌的作案風格。
針對加蘭姆的指控讓我想起了我在紐約認識的一位老警察，他曾說過：“犯罪雖然不是職業，但卻是一份工作。”
據警方稱，這名24歲的男子上周因涉嫌三起北約克汽車經銷店入室盜竊案而被控15項罪名。指控稱，在2024年12月29日至2024年1月12日期間，加蘭姆涉嫌強行闖入基爾街-斯蒂爾斯大道地區的經銷店。進入店內後，他拿走了車鑰匙、車輛和車牌。
但事情遠不止於此。遠不止於此。
自2024年1月以來，他還因一年來在多倫多警察局各部門的入室盜竊案而被控193項罪名。
此外，他還麵臨滑鐵盧、圭爾夫、倫敦、約克、皮爾和達勒姆地區195項與入室盜竊相關的指控。
這一切都發生在他被軟禁期間。
多倫多警察協會副主席布萊恩·卡拉南提出了一個我們都想知道的問題：“警方需要提出多少項指控才能將這家夥拘留？”
但關鍵在於：2018年，加蘭布和兩名匈牙利同胞因涉嫌從科堡地區的房產中盜竊金屬而被捕。
這不禁讓人想問：他為什麽還在這裏？
“所有羅姆人都來到這裏，你根本趕不走他們，”一位偵探告訴《多倫多太陽報》。“除非是暴力犯罪，否則他們會多次參加移民聽證會，聲稱自己是難民，並聲稱自己在家鄉遭受迫害。一旦他們進來，你就無法讓他們出來。”
他還補充說，由於這些指控都是非暴力的，這些被指控的罪犯幾乎百分之百肯定會在無可救藥的難民委員會麵前逍遙法外。
2018年，安省省警（OPP）在一份新聞稿中表示，警方發現了一輛可疑車輛，並接到報告稱科堡附近漢密爾頓鎮地區的房產發生了金屬盜竊案。
新聞稿補充道：“三名從匈牙利入境加拿大的男子被捕。”
加蘭姆和另外兩名匈牙利人被控盜竊5000加元以下物品（四項罪名）以及持有5000加元以下犯罪所得財產（兩項罪名）。
警方還繳獲了大量財物，並表示他們相信這三人與達勒姆地區報告的其他盜竊案有關。
然後呢？三人都被釋放了。
奇怪的是，沒有關於涉嫌犯罪的記錄，也沒有加蘭姆的移民身份信息。即使指控被撤銷，係統中也應該有一些記錄。
但如果偵探們的懷疑屬實，那麽拉約什·加蘭姆就是一位敬業的工匠。對他來說，他選擇的職業似乎是一種使命。
上周四，他被找到、逮捕，並被指控三項故意偽裝和未遵守釋放令（！）罪名，兩項持有入室盜竊工具和入室盜竊非住宅意圖實施可公訴罪行罪名，以及一項盜竊5000加元以下物品、盜竊機動車和持有5000加元以下犯罪所得財產罪名。
這位警察告訴《太陽報》：“你不會因為盜竊而被驅逐出加拿大。”
加蘭姆於2023年因盜竊罪獲得有條件釋放和緩刑。此外，他還有2021年和2022年的案件正在審理中。
最近的指控均未在法庭上進行審理。
用警方的話來說，這些犯罪更關乎生活質量。而司法係統卻置之不理，導致它們繼續存在。
逃票、塗鴉、破壞公物、癮君子吐在你鞋子上、公園裏丟棄針頭。記住：你無關緊要。
真正重要的是氛圍。難道我們就不能手拉手，在火爐邊烤烤棉花糖嗎？
當然，我們的司法、假釋和移民係統不會對凶殺案過於激動。那麽，他們為什麽要因為拉約什·加蘭布事件而大動肝火呢？
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.
“All the Roma, they come here, and you can’t get rid of them,” one detective told The Toronto Sun. “Unless it’s a violent offence, they’ll get multiple immigration hearings, claim they’re refugees and claim they’re being persecuted back home. Once they’re in, you can’t get them out.”
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?
