A man accused of being a jet-setting bank robber who flew in and out of Toronto to render his felonies apparently tried to escape from police as he waited for the plane at Heathrow Airport. CTV reports that Jefferey James Shuman feigned chest pains hoping to be taken to a hospital in London. But it was too transparent and he is in custody in York Region tonight after being deported from Switzerland. Shuman — nicknamed “The Vaulter” because he allegedly hopped over counters to rob banks — is arrested alleged to have robbed 21 banks in the GTA as he also lived a less exciting life in the U.S. and Europe. He is both a U.S. and French citizen. Shuman had been sought under an international arrest warrant issued by Canada. He arrived back here on Saturday afternoon. Peel Regional Police said they picked him up from Pearson International Airport and delivered him into the hands of York Regional Police.
