Eighteen people are facing nearly 100 charges after the dismantling of a “violent” criminal organized network linked to the towing industry in the Greater Toronto Area, police say.

The arrests represent a major setback for an organization that has instilled fear and violence in the community since 2023, Peel Regional Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah said during a June 16 press conference.
