A 27-year-old man has been arrested in Canada for stalking a family on social media for about a year. The man has been identified as Imran Yusuf, a Calgary resident. He had been making threats against three members of an Okatoks family since February of last year through fake accounts.

He had also slashed the tires of their vehicle several times since last August. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said the suspect was not known to the family. The suspect was identified after a scientific investigation focused on social media accounts. He has been charged with several serious charges, including making threats to kill, harassing, destroying public property, and threatening to harm animals.

The RCMP and Calgary police are jointly investigating the case. More information about the suspect was obtained and the arrest was expedited when another person received threatening messages from the same accounts.
