Toronto, Jul 20 (PTI) Canadian police have arrested 15 Indian-origin men for allegedly running a major organised cargo theft ring, and property worth more than 9 million dollars was recovered along with stolen goods.
A joint task force was formed in March to investigate a series of tractor-trailer and cargo thefts in Peel regional municipality and across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), a press release by the Peels Regional Police said on Wednesday.
The investigation, dubbed Project Big Rig, disrupted the criminal ring, leading to the arrests of fifteen Indian-origin individuals from different cities in the GTA. Those arrested ranged in age from 22 to 45, and 73 charges were laid on them.
