Furqan Muhammad-Haroon, 22, is a criminal

Toronto police took Furqan Muhammad-Haroon, 22, into custody on Monday and have charged him with two counts of breaking and entering.

The charges date back more than a year to April 2008.

Police allege Muhammad-Haroon illegally entered the office of computer software company IBM where he was working and removed a quantity of laptop computers and monitors.

Last week Muhammad-Haroon was charged with mischief and released on $20,000 bail after allegedly masterminding his own kidnapping.

On Aug. 25, three days after he was reported missing, Toronto police said they had located Muhammad-Haroon in St. Catharines, Ont.

Police had initially said three men, one with a gun, forced Muhammad-Haroon's car off the road in Scarborough. But suspicions were raised when no one came forward with any information about anything unusual occurring near the busy intersection in the middle of a Saturday afternoon.

Muhammad-Haroon had earlier been fired from his summer job with IBM, arrested and charged Aug. 13 with theft under $5,000. He was allegedly caught with a recycling bin filled with IBM hard drives and other computer equipment.
