As Peter Edwards reported today, a GTA tow truck operator has been hit with a $2.45 million negligence lawsuit after a student working as a security guard was fatally shot in the head with an unregistered handgun while guarding a lot for vehicles thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…
In June 2020, York Regional Police announced investigators have seized 11 tow trucks, assorted weapons, drugs and cash in a joint-forces operation called Project Platinum. thestar.com/news/gta/2020/…
“Organized crime does not always come in the form that we expect,” Supt. Mike Slack of York Regional Police said as he announced the arrests of three men connected to ongoing violence in the tow truck industry. thestar.com/news/gta/2020/…
“Organized crime begins with an opportunity to make money and a level of greed that leads to criminality and violence,” Supt. Mike Slack said. “The towing industry with its lack of regulations have bred exactly that environment.” thestar.com/news/gta/2020/…
The OPP has now announced three police officers have been charged with bribery and extortion with others under investigation, revealing the level of corruption that has helped enabled these criminal organizations. thestar.com/podcasts/thism…
