Peel police have arrested a 66-year-old man after they allege $2 million in goods were stolen by a “deceptive fraud ring” targeting trucking companies in the lead-up to Christmas.
Police said firms across the GTA were targeted with cargo allegedly stolen from eight tractor trailers over a period of three weeks.
Last Thursday, Peel police’s auto crime unit recovered the goods, which included electronics, after search warrants were executed on three GTA addresses.
The streets involved where Glidden Rd. in Brampton as well as two Toronto addresses: Belfield Rd, near Kipling Ave. and Hwy. 401, as well as Precision Rd. near Rexdale Blvd. and Hwy. 27.
Antonio Aulicino of King City has been charged with possession of property obtained by crime. Police say there are likely others involved in what they call a “deceptive fraud ring.”
Police said the robberies were “highly organized in nature.” The case is still under investigation.
