Toronto police have arrested a man and charged him with possession of a stolen handgun — just two weeks after the same man was arrested by U.S. authorities for illegally entering the country.

Edward Haist, 21, was the subject of a manhunt by Toronto police all weekend. He was considered armed and dangerous.

Haist and his cousin Jason Haist, 29, were in the news late last month when they were arrested by the U.S. Border Patrol near Lewiston, N.Y. They were charged with illegally landing their jet skis in the United States.

The two were charged with not reporting to immigration authorities when they landed their watercraft across the border.

No hearing date has been set for the U.S. charges. If convicted, the pair could be barred from entering the U.S. for five years.

Edward Haist faces three charges in Toronto, including theft under $5,000 and possession a firearm while under a prohibition order.
