Adrian Humphryes tweeted just now ..

"A Toronto police officer is among ten people charged in an anti-corruption and organized crime investigation linked to southern Ontario’s vicious towing war. More to come."


Tweet

Followed by:

"The internal police probe focused on the theft and cloning of encrypted police radios allegedly used by tow truck drivers from several tow companies to learn of traffic collisions and be first to the scene, raking in the dough. Story to come."

2nd Tweet

From this past weekend's Toronto Star:

‘Everybody’s afraid’: How biker gangs and organized crime muscled in on the GTA tow truck industry - Peter Edwards (Toronto Star)

https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/20...ed-in-on-the-gta-tow-truck-industry.html

On the downside, local tow truck drivers are bumping shoulders with what York Regional Police say are at least four organized crime groups in an industry that has seen a series of four murders and scores of arsons, shootings and threats over the past 18 months.
