One man is under arrest after a tow truck operator is believed to have towed multiple vehicles illegally in Brampton.
On Friday, May 1, Peel police began investigating multiple reports of vehicles being towed overnight from Brampton parking lots without the approval of property management.
“Several vehicles were located at a private storage yard later that day,” said police.
The tow truck company in question is said to have operated under multiple names, including A1 Flames Recovery and Towing, A1 Flames Towing, A1 Towing, and Alpha One Towing.
39-year-old Brampton man Jaswinder Singh Saini was arrested and charged with three counts of theft of a motor vehicle.
He was held in custody pending a bail hearing.
Police believe there may be further victims, and are urging anyone whose vehicle may have been unlawfully towed or stored, or who paid fees under these circumstances, to contact police.
