Peel police have arrested a man wanted as part of an attempted child abduction at a Brampton daycare.

The suspect, who police have identified as a 19-year-old man, was arrested on Thursday, May 2, three days after the attempted abduction took place out of a child care centre in the area of Kennedy Road North and Bovaird Drive East.

Shortly before 5 p.m. on Monday, April 29, police say the man followed a delivery driver through two controlled access points into the daycare.

After exiting a washroom, police say he was questioned by staff and asked for his identification, at which point he indicated he was picking up a relative and had left his identification. The mother's child was contacted by staff for confirmation.

The man was seen leaving the property 15 minutes after he entered. He reportedly went northbound on Kennedy Road North on foot.

Police notified the public about the incident around 2 p.m. on Thursday and the intruder was arrested later that evening. He is facing a charge of child abduction and was held for a bail hearing.

Anyone with information about the incident can contact the 22 Division criminal investigation bureau at 905-453-2121, ext. 2233. Information can also be left anonymously by calling Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, or by visiting peelcrimestoppers.ca.
