Your Singhs today (Caledon ON edition)

It's been a couple of days since we ran a story about criminality in Canada's burgeoning Sikh community. We get at least one tip every day but we don't want to add too exacerbate the sick-of-Sikhness sweeping Ontario and British Columbia, so won't run any more of these this week. Promise.

Five people have been charged after the Ontario Provincial Police, responsible for the Town of Caledon in Ontario's Peel Region, say they fabricated an armed carjacking report in Caledon as part of a fraud scheme. 

Inspector Knacker told the meeja the OPP were first contacted in the early hours of September 9th for a reported carjacking in the area of Old School Road and Heritage Road. It was alleged that four suspects, two of whom were armed with handguns, stole the complainant’s vehicle by force and fled the area. 

However, police say that detectives ultimately determined the complainant, along with four co-conspirators fabricated the story as part of a fraud scheme.

Five people of a light-brownish complexion have had their collars felt in connection with their investigation. The individuals taken into custody include Apkarn Singh, 22, of Brampton, Lakshay Sharma, 21, of Caledon, Sehajpreet Singh Sandhu, 21, of Caledon, Gurkarn Singh, 21, of Brampton and a 17-year-old from Brampton. The suspects are facing nine combined charges, including fraud over $5000. 

The charges have not been tested in court. Until their court date -- sometime next year -- the Singhs are out on bail so they can pursue their regular occupations as truck drivers for Diversity Transport LinesTM.
