An ongoing turf war within a small segment of Toronto’s tow truck industry has led to an increase in shootings, including 12 separate incidents police allege were carried out by two teen suspects.
At a news conference Wednesday, Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw revealed the results of Project Beacon, an investigative effort to address tow truck-related crimes in the city.
“From shootings to arsons to mischief, this industry, which plays a critical role in maintaining traffic flow in our city, has been tainted by violence,” he said.
