A man has been arrested on attempted murder and extortion charges as Peel Regional Police continue an investigation into an organized crime group known as \u201cFour Brothers.\u201d<\/p>\n

In May, police arrested 17 suspects <\/a>believed to be members of the group in connection with a string of violent extortion incidents targeting members of the South Asian business community in Brampton, Caledon and Mississauga.<\/p>\n

According to police<\/a>, a Brampton business was targeted in an early morning shooting on April 21. Investigators recovered 14 shell casings at the scene. The suspect fled before officers arrived.<\/p>\n

Police say that on May 6, a man was leaving his home when he was approached by an unknown individual. <\/p>\n

The suspect allegedly pointed a firearm at the victim, but the weapon malfunctioned, allowing the man to escape. The suspect fled the scene.<\/p>\n

On June 23, officers with the Edmonton Police Service arrested 22-year-old Safaldeep Singh during a traffic stop. Police say they seized a loaded illegal firearm and a quantity of drugs.<\/p>\n

Singh was later transferred to the custody of Peel Regional Police and charged with one count of conspiracy to commit murder and one count of extortion.<\/p>\n

\u201cOrganized crime operates without regard for jurisdictional boundaries, and our response must be the same. Deputy Chief Nick Milinovich of Peel Regional Police said in a statement Thursday.<\/p>\n

Extortion has a serious impact on victims and communities, and we are committed to addressing this harm through targeted enforcement and strong partnerships across the country.\u201d <\/p>\n

Singh was denied bail and remains in custody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man has been arrested on attempted murder and extortion charges as Peel Regional Police continue an investigation…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":776432,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[712,49,48,44],"class_list":["post-776431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-apple-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/776431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=776431"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/776431\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/776432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=776431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=776431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=776431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
