BRAMPTON, ONT. — Peel Region police say they have arrested 18 people, including three teens, as part of an investigation into an organized crime network linked to multiple violent home invasions, armed robberies and carjackings.
Police say the months-long investigation, dubbed Project Warlock, began after a series of home invasion-style robberies and carjackings in Peel Region and throughout the Greater Toronto Area late last year.
Police say there were also multiple carjackings over a weekend in March this year, including five carjackings targeting luxury vehicles in both Peel and York Region. As a result of the investigation, they say they carried out more than 60 search warrants, with 12 stolen vehicles recovered and four firearms seized, three of which have been traced to the U.S.
