An “armed and dangerous” fugitive wanted by the FBI and on the lam for more than a decade was arrested in Brampton Thursday.

The Toronto Police Fugitive Squad arrested Delroy McGowan, 45, a.k.a. Delroy Lowe, in the area of Sandalwood Parkway West and Mississauga Road.

He is being held in custody pending extradition to the United States, where he faces up to 60 years in prison on firearms and serious drug convictions, including trafficking.

McGowan fled Chicago in 2004 while he was facing those charges. He was convicted in absentia.

Toronto police say investigators believe he headed to Jamaica, where he is a citizen, then entered Canada using a fake name.

Police said he has family living in Peel, and they believed he might have been hiding in the GTA. He was considered “armed and dangerous,” according to police.

Over the past 11 years police have investigated several tips on his whereabouts, but were never able to find him. In 2014, the Fugitive Squad released a rare “top 10 fugitive” list on which he was featured, and the information they received from the distribution of that list led to his arrest, according to police.

Police did not release any other details about his arrest.
