Police in Toronto arrested 20 individuals associated with a criminal organization known as the Union, believed to be responsible for numerous violent incidents in the towing industry. The arrests were made after a wiretap investigation revealing their involvement in arsons and shootings. The accused, aged between 17 and 53 years, face over 100 charges collectively. With a significant uptick in towing-related violence this year, the operation showcased a collaboration among various police departments. Chief Supt. Joe Matthews emphasized the prevention of extreme violence in this case, although connections to another recent bust remain undisclosed due to a publication ban.
It's quite telling that none of them have criminal records or are before the courts, because they are the higher level, said police chief Supt. Joe Matthews.
Extreme acts of violence were prevented by this investigation, said police chief Supt. Joe Matthews.
