DISTRICT HIGHLIGHTS
Operation Sticky Fingers – Information from
the District Crime Analyst on a rash of thefts from
vehicles prompted Property Crime Unit officers to
conduct surveillance in retail parking lots in the City
of Vaughan. This surveillance led to a much larger
criminal enterprise after three men were found in
possession of 49 kilograms of cocaine, more than
700,000 tablets of ecstasy and over $200,000 in
Canadian currency. These arrests prompted Drugs
and Vice Enforcement Unit and members of the #4
District Criminal Investigation Bureau to execute a
search warrant at a Vaughan home where an additional
105 grams of cocaine, 1,200 ecstasy tablets, $95,000 in
Canadian currency were seized along with one Taser
gun, two handguns and two police-style raid jackets.
Operation Nashville – Targeting speeding and
impaired driving along Nashville Road between
Highways 27 and 50, the four-day Operation Nashville
resulted in 90 speeding tickets and five 12-hour driving
suspensions being issued, in addition to the arrest of
five individuals for racing offences and one person for
Careless Driving. Officers also arrested three people
for drug-related charges.
Round Up 2 – Officers were assigned to identify,
investigate and locate individuals living within the #4
District boundaries wanted on outstanding warrants
by York Regional Police or other police agencies.
The 13-day initiative conducted by the Community
Oriented Response (COR) Unit was a success. In
total, seven individuals were arrested for outstanding
Criminal Warrants, two for Ministry of Finance
Warrants and one person for a Family Law Act
Warrant.
