A 58-year-old Burlington man is facing 19 charges after a luxury home in Burlington was raided by heavily-armed Halton Regional Police tactical officers and a well-known restaurant was shut down in an incident that left neighbours in shock.

The alleged crimes, Halton police say, have been taking place since 2006. Members of the force's Child Abuse and Sexual Assault Unit, with help from tactical and additional investigative officers and police dogs, conducted the raids Friday, Dec. 20 and made an arrest.

Mohan (Jarry) Ahlowalia, 58, is charged with seven counts of assault, assault with a weapon, sexual assault, uttering threats and a rash of human trafficking and firearms charges.

Police say the accused man goes by a number of aliases, including Gerry Aholowalia, Jarry Mohan Aholowalia, Jarry A'Walia, Mohan Ahuwalia and others.
