An investigation into tow truck drivers charging exorbitant fees across the Greater Toronto Area has led to more than 250 charges.
they launched Project Bondar in October 2019 after receiving numerous complaints from motorists who said they were charged excessive fees for towing their vehicles after collisions.
Police said officers involved in the investigation executed search warrants in Brampton, Scarborough, Etobicoke, Ajax, Clarington, Pickering and Whitby. While carrying out the search warrants, police said they recovered 31 vehicles, some of which were allegedly stolen or unlawfully towed. The vehicles seized by police had a combined value of approximately $900,00 and included a Ferrari 488 and BMW M4.
Police say it's important to know what your insurance policy covers before agreeing to have your vehicle towed.
