The South Simcoe Police Service has issued a warrant for an Innisfil woman in relation to a reported child abduction.
In March, officers launched an investigation into a reported child abduction involving an infant who had been residing in Innisfil with both parents. The father of the infant reported that the child’s mother had taken their daughter to Russia, with plans to visit family. Once the incident was reported, the investigation was taken over by the South Simcoe Police Service Criminal Investigations Bureau.
Through the investigation, it was determined that the mother and infant travelled to Russia, and the mother made no attempt to return to Canada with the infant. While the police investigation was underway, the father had initiated family court proceedings in Canada and obtained a court order authorized by a family court judge that compelled the mother to return the infant to Canada and into the care of her father. The mother did not appear at any of the court hearings in Canada and did not comply with the court order issued.
As a result, South Simcoe Police charged 40-year-old Tegmina Konstanovna Agadzhanyan with the following offences:
- Abduction in Contravention of a Custody or Parenting Order
- Disobey Court Order
The investigation remains ongoing.
